About me

I make films under the name of Skooch Media; a small company that I founded in 2009.

From the early days of studying at Mountview Theatre School in London, coupled with playing bass guitar for a few local North London bands of the day, I decided to change direction and join an advertising agency to learn the art of editing. I was later fortunate to get an outlet to work for one of London's leading advertising agencies such as AMV.BBDO and Grey London essentially editing TV commercials. From there I moved into film making and took the opportunity to further enhance my media skills to make corporate films for such clients as Honda, Pepsi, GSK, Sainsburys and Volvo. As well as learning the craft of editing, I developed my understanding of camerawork and all aspects of putting documentaries together for our in house clients. Eventually the time felt right to set up my own facility where it is possible to encompass a broader spectrum of media projects away from what agency life could offer. I'm now a versatile film maker who can produce, film and edit with all my own facilities and camera kit. More recently I've been directing and filming live music events for high end music individuals such as Adam Ant, Marillion, Mari Wilson, Sad Cafe, America, Donny Osmond, Rick Wakeman and Leo Sayer. I consider myself versatile in the field of entertainment.
