In contemporary cityscapes, nature persists, albeit in mutant forms: tendrils and roots spread through cracks in the concrete, unsettling infrastructures of human supremacy.
This short film blends folkloric traditions, urban ecologies and libidinal intensities of contemporary life through the story of an escalating erotic entanglement between a human woman and a Green Man - a figure made of plants from Pagan traditions.
The film proceeds in four parts, accounting for the ripening and rot of their relationship over the course of one year.

Created as part of the “Bodies of Water” course run by IMPRINT in 2024, this short film is an auto-fictional experiment in embodied-felt sense as filmmaking methodology. I bring together the history of the Woodberry Wetlands in East London with the psychic life of the reservoir as lived during a time of deep self-reflection.

In Botanical Ghosts, visual documentation of Tresco’s famous botanical garden is accompanied by a gothic horror narrative which embeds the haunting legacies and ongoingness of enclosure, colonialism, tourism and climate change into its apparent fecundity.

“They swept in one late-summer morning, a great tide of semi-translucent bodies, visible, invisible.”
Nature documentary meets science fiction in this short film about an English coastal town overcome by an influx of alien jellyfish whose amorphous and enigmatic powers leave no one untouched.

A young woman ruminates on lost climate futures while roaming an island littered with junk and half-sunk ruins.

A post-pornographic act of technoqueer worldmaking.
A low-budget electric flow passing through a leaky science fiction system comprised of a Flip camera, illegally downloaded movie editing software, a microcrontroller, petals, queer embodiments, currents of milk and blood, prosthetic bodies, knives, garden shears, a heteronymic squad of phantom phalluses.
Post-repetition, post-gif, post-biomedia, post-art.
Co-directed with Kris Beaghton
Screened as part of the Quimera Rosa’s programming for Les Rencontres Bandits-Mages festival in November 2015

Both a loving tribute and irreverent parody, David Lynch Is Not What He Seems surfaces connections between low-fi visual technologies, DIY art and the aesthetics of the uncanny in popular culture.
Within a recreation of the infamous Black Lodge from Lynch’s iconic series Twin Peaks, a group of queer performers generate their own version of a Lynchian universe - replete with time-bending phenomena and archetypes of ambivalence.

A phantasmagoric film of ritual magik and the naturecultural history of frogs. An auto-fictional fairytale of technoscience, femininity, climate crisis, abortion and amphibian intensities.
