A cross-channel project of twenty films developed in collaboration with Arts Cornwall Trust (Krowji), Le Groupe Ouest (the leading digital media development agency in Finistère) and the Cornwall Chamber of Commerce, supported by European Interreg funding. As editor / co -shooter I had a big hand in establishing the pace and mood as well as the stark black and white / color split-screen aesthetic. The Golden-Tree Cornish team consisted of Writer/ producer Will Coleman, Film Director/ shooter Brett Harvey and myself.

Shortlisted for the Celtic Media Festival ‘Factual Series’ Award, the project uncovers, compares and contrasts stories of Cornish and Breton business.
Each Cornish business is paired with a counterpart business in Brittany, exploring themes including sustainability, social responsibility, innovation, growth and ingenuity.

The films show that economic vitality, inventiveness and entrepreneurship are not the preserve of big cities and that ‘peripheral’ regions like Cornwall and Brittany are great places to do business.

I conceived this piece as away to re-introduce 'Clone Wars' character, Ahsoka Tano to Star Wars: Rebels fans. The challenge was to appeal to Clone Wars, Star Wars and Rebels fan demographics of all ages. I took advantage of the artistic talents of series Executive Producer, Dave Filoni; Dave reflects on the creation and evolution of his character as he draws Ahsoka as she has appeared over the years. This is a more intimate discussion with Dave than with many of his appearances over his ten years at Lucasfilm.  I Shot this on a Sony A7S and Panasonic GH4 - ( The Ashley Eckstein segment  was shot in LA by the online team.) I provided creative direction and motion graphics support to LVP Editor Kevin Yost who shaped the piece into something really special. The piece premiered on USAtoday & starwars.com and has clocked up an impressive 400,000 views on youtube.

I was commissioned by Lucasfilm video production to collaborate closely with ILMxLAB creators Rob Bredow, (head of new media & VP advanced development group) and John Gaeta (creative director, New Media) to establish a film aesthetic to communicate ILMxLAB's  immersive new media story technologies. I shot and directed the live action sequences and interviews, which included Lucasfilm president, and Hollywood legend, Kathleen Kennedy. The film has achieved hundreds of media impressions, featured articles include Rolling Stone, Variety, The Hollywood Reporter,  Ain't it cool news, USAtoday and boasts 175,000 views on Youtube.

Music promo for Warner Music and Mondo Management. I directed and edited this micro-budget music video that garnered hundreds of media impressions, airplay on MTV internationally and 380,000 views.
Acclaimed by Adam Buxton, Guardian/Esquire film critic and author Micheal Holden, NME, Badass Digest, Pitchfork and an entry into Stereogum's top 5 global music videos of the week.

I shot, directed and edited this promo for Clerke and Joy theatre company.

This is a show about eruption and tension and release and geology and human beings and a pilot and the Righteous Brothers’ Unchained Melody. It is funny and deadly serious. And it’s about letting go, because sometimes you’ve just got to get it out.
Part performance, part lecture, part school science experiment, Volcano follows the story of a pilot’s personal eruption whilst grounded during the Eyjafjallajökull ash cloud in April 2010. It uses lo-fi props to recreate gigantic events, and gigantic events to illuminate small lives with pathos and a deep sense of life’s absurdity.
Volcano is currently being developed at The Basement, Brighton who are supporting the show dramaturgically and with a Roddick Foundation Commission. It is kindly supported by Arts Council England.
