Adidas- The Street where Originality Lives

This was mainly shot last year in East London. I was a casting assistant on the job for Kate and Lou Casting. I also co-ordinated the cast with Partizan throughout the 7 day shoot, working with some pretty amazing people. Lots of fun!

Kopparberg Cinema Ad

I cast this with a lot of street casting. The right level of cool over 25 year olds were not that easy to find but got there in the end!

Straight 8 2010

Plan B- She Said

This video follows on from 'Stay too Long'...
I did the casting and choreographed the jury. Loved it! Great fun again and enjoyed having a bit of creative input with the jury. Thanks Daniel and Tim! Be the change!!

Origami Films

I have been working for Origami Films on a freelance basis as production assistant for a few years now. It's like a family and I love the shoots. They make films and many Children's tv commercials like Power Rangers, Ben 10, Tamagotchi and Girls World etc...

Bill Clark is a brilliant writer/director and Mel Paton is a fab producer- great team!

They gave me a chance in the industry and I'm very grateful and have learnt a lot from them.

My straight 8 film is now on their website-

Blues Brothers Banned- Lincoln Gig

Last Saturday morning I was at the fiming of the new Plan B music video in a court room in Elephant and Castle, London while the rest of the band were on their way to Lincoln for a gig.

After over seeing choreography and checking cast in I was on a train from London to Lincoln to join my fellow band mates.

It was a great gig- over 400 people came to see us and we sold out which was good considering we hadn't played in Lincoln before. Standing ovation at the end was a nice feeling but gutted I missed out on the whole shoot.

NEXT GIG- 100 CLUB - 21ST FEB
