I am a writer and director whose work spans film, TV, music videos and theatre. I was born in NYC, grew up in London and am completing an MFA in Film & TV Production at USC. I am devoted to crafting stories which foreground the unspoken parts of everyday life with humour and sensitivity. As a nonbinary artist, I am particularly drawn to exploring the queer experience of gender through the medium of film.
I have directed two music videos through my collaboration with artist Roshan Ruprai, including ‘Bulletproof’ which premiered at Tate Modern. I have also pursued a keen interest in comedy across my film and theatre projects. I directed the darkly comic one-woman play West of Frances, which received 5- and 4-star reviews at the Edinburgh Fringe. Benson, a short film about an imaginary friend, received a special commendation at Swindon Independent Film Festival 2020. My most recent project is GIRLY, a documentary which explores femininity from the perspective of gender nonconforming people. It was selected as a capstone thesis project by USC and is currently on the festival circuit.
