I’m a freelance writer and filmmaker living in London. I’m particularly interested in exploring ideas around about capitalism, gender + queerness, found footage, and the politics of blockbusters. 

I have participated in critics workshops at the Edinburgh International Film Festival (2017) and Cinema Rediscovered (2023). My work has appeared in print and online for publications including ALT/KINO, In Review Online, In The Mood and Little White Lies. I also occasionally blog over at Letterboxd. 

I completed a BA in English Literature at the University of Edinburgh in 2020, and an MA in Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths in 2022. Details on academic projects can be found here.

When I’m not writing, I work as an archivist for the estate of the artist Paula Rego, where I manage the film, photo and press collections.

In 2024, I will continue working on two film projects: as co-director on a short fiction film, and as editor on a documentary about Derek Jarman’s Edward II.
