Role: Compositor and Prep Artist
AEON (2019)
“A cinematic ride through the inner-workings of first life, the diversity of the animal kingdom, and the organised chaos of the modern world. ”
I leant my compositng skills to this journey through nature in the form of clean up of unnecessary elements.
In My Own Skin (2019)
“Set in Boston, USA, we enter the unique world of a dance group for women in opioid addiction recovery, as they prepare for a big performance. With intimate insight, twists and turns in their stories and the women’s witty sense of humour, the journey we go on with them, is one made of laughter and tears.”
Emotional interviews and dark environments made this documentary project a very interesting one to tackle as the colourist. The strength of the women featured, and the passion of the other filmmakers involved made the experience extremely rewarding.
Among the Eucalyptus (2019)
“Among the Eucalyptus is a grad film from the NFTS directed, produced, written and filmed by Zoe. It tells the tale of the Eucalyptus ecosystem of Australia. It’s a story of the amazing animals that rely on this ecosystem as well as the conservation research being done to save the trees and their inhabitants. ”
Working as the colourist and online editor, I got together with natural history director and zoologist Zoe Cousins to deliver this short about the threats currently facing eucalyptus trees in Australia, and the animals that depend on them.
Wildcats: Breeding to Extinction (2018)
“Of the many predator species that once lived in the United Kingdom, there is still one left: the Scottish Wild Cat. The species is threatened by hybridisation with other wild cats and domestic cats. A team of Scottish Wildcat Action keeps an eye on the last hundred copies. ”
Science and Natural History director Zoe Cousins shot and edited this beautiful and sobering piece about the efforts to protect the Scottish wildcats. I worked with her as a color grader to make the final piece sing! This film and another short we collaborated on, Rats With Wings, were selected for the 2018 Wildlife Film Festival Rotterdam, the largest nature festival in the Netherlands.

Rats With Wings (2018)
“Pigeons are often called ‘rats with wings’. Due to their excessive presence and unattractive appearance they are seen as a plague. But this bird has an incredible history. From food source to war hero, the pigeon is an undervalued bird.”
Science and Natural History director Zoe Cousins shot and edited this very informative piece about the unappreciated beauty of street pidgeons. I worked with her as a color grader to make the final piece pop! This film and another short we collaborated on, Wild Cats, were selected for the 2018 Wildlife Film Festival Rotterdam, the largest nature festival in the Netherlands.
