PENANCE
"A man asks the only person he can ask to turn his guilt into a mark. She refuses the job, and will only keep him in the bed as the man who did it."
One room, two people, one night. After using Charlotte’s private writing against her, Owen wants pain so he can stay. Charlotte will not become the woman who lets him off. A zero-budget two-hander about refusal, not redemption.
BLACK FLAG - Illegal Alien
"A weary trafficker smuggling immigrants to 'safety' hides a grim secret - forcing him to confront his own complicity in a horrifying system."
This project blends sci-fi horror with dystopian realism, exploring exploitation, complicity, and systemic power structures. It questions how individuals become trapped within larger forces, unable to escape their roles - whether by choice or circumstance.

With a background in photography, video, and music, and an MA in Art and Design, he has developed a visual language that is precise, withheld, and shaped as much by absence as by image.
