Yelf & Aether Speaker/2025/Director

That's For The Nose Bleed

A music video for Yelf & Aether Speaker. The Wicker Man and Midsommar were the reference points, and the whole thing was built in that world of folk ritual. Genuinely one of the most fun jobs I have had.

Royal Albert Hall/2024/Producer

The Royal Albert Hall

Poetry hadn't been staged at the Royal Albert Hall in decades. This film, directed by Simon Frederick and produced by me, captures the night that changed, and what it meant to put poets back on one of the world's great stages.

Send App Campaign

Part of the Send App campaign for Flutterwave, the money transfer service built so Africans abroad can get money home in minutes. The campaign followed three people across three spots, on the idea that sending money is rarely just a transaction. It's love, sent by other means.

Short Film/2014/Director

Escape

Written and directed by me. A boy breaks out of a world built like a prison and finds his imagination waiting on the other side. The whole film grew from one line I couldn't shake: only those who can see the invisible can do the impossible.

Sentient Brutalism

LionHeart's most ambitious work to date, and a piece I produced. A poetic exposé of the human condition and our relationship with regret, perfectionism and submission, shot with the cold weight of brutalist architecture pressed up against something very much alive. It debuted as the showpiece of his installation Duppy Know Who Fi Frighten at Art'otel Hoxton, and it's still travelling.

LionHeart/2021/Director

SMD

A visual piece created with spoken word artist LionHeart, built to give his words a body. Every frame was designed to echo the verse, so the images don't just accompany the poem, they speak it back.
