• Made short films at university
• Used his short  award winning filmsas a 'calling card' to get his foot in the door with the video production company factory films.
• Began by shooting 3 very loq budget,£5000, music videos.

How the process works:

• A comminsioner from a recordcompany sends a track to 5-10 directors.
• Each of the directors submit a treatment if theywish to.
• Their staging is unpaid
• The director who the record label believe have submitted the best treatment is then commisioned to make the video.
• Only then is the director paid
