I Can Still Run.
A short preview of a new documentary currently in production called ‘I Can Still Run’, which tells the story of Neil Russell. Neil was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in his late 50s, but has refused to accept it should limit his abilities or ambitions.
An accomplished athlete, Neil decided he would continue running, despite/in spite of his condition. In 2022, he ran JOGLE (John O’ Groats to Land’s End) in 36 back-to-back marathons. This is his story as he prepares for another epic run.
Voices Gloucester.
For the past 12 months or so I’ve worked with Voices Gloucester, filming and documenting many of their social history projects which give voice to previously unheard or overlooked people and their stories. History is everyone’s story.
This is just a short intro to what will be a longer film exploring the projects, celebrating the people, and looking at the legacy of this unique program funded by Historic England, Gloucestershire Council and the Lottery Heritage Fund.
The Explorer’s Way.
A cinema ad for South Australia Tourism promoting the 3000km road trip across the red centre, from Adelaide to Darwin. Filmed in real time (the trip took just under three weeks, with diversions to Uluru, King’s Canyon and Kakadu National Park), this 60 second cinema spot formed the core of a multi-layered campaign that included digital, editorial and social, and won Campaign of the Year at the Travel Marketing Awards 2015.
StoryFilm.
StoryFilm tells your story, through film. Short documentary-style films about things that are important to you - your family history, your interests, your loves and passions.
Here, acclaimed florist Lucy Phillips (Estelle Manor, and the like) shares the story of one of her most treasured possessions: a cabinet of threads she found in the backstreets of Delhi. Using Lucy’s photographs from her time living and working in India, together with film of her and the cabinet, the film is a keepsake for Lucy and her family.
‘The film’s a special thing that I will treasure,’ says Lucy. ‘A record that is so much more meaningful than any photo.’

The Cooper.
My grandfather was a cooper. Joseph Crampton, born in 1899, made casks for Bass, Bulmers and other breweries, between 1921 and his retirement in 1965. When he died in 1977, we found a pile of yellowed documents and papers among his possessions: he had started to write about his life as a cooper, with anecdotes and impressions of the people in the cooperage, and had gone in to detail about his profession, complete with delicate line-drawings of tools and techniques. He had seen his craft as a dying art and had tried to preserve it.
A few years ago I asked one of the UK’s last master coopers, Alastair Simms, to go through the things Joe had left – old coopering tool catalogues and newspaper clippings, and those yellowed pages, and I asked him about his life as a cooper and the tools he used that my grandfather had written about.
A document to my grandad. And to the vanishing art of the cooper.
The Blacksmith.
I met Phillipp the blacksmith in the small mountain top village of Guarda, Switzerland, during a snowstorm. It was good to get out of the cold and into the warmth of the forge. He had no idea who I was, but very kindly let me film him while he worked, and gave me a short interview afterwards. You can read more about my meeting with Phillipp in the Blog.
Inntravel.
After ten years of being The Slow Holiday People, a concept and campaign I created and ran, Inntravel asked me to develop a new customer-facing story to tell. Launched in 2020, the new line ‘Take yourself away from the everyday’ builds on the success of all things Slow, moving the story into a more active, inspirational and ‘open’ message to attract those customers the Slow message failed to reach.
West Hair Salons.
I’ve worked with Graham West Salons creating film and photography for the brand since 2014. Graham’s brief is always to give a sense of the people who make these innovative salons what they are – calm, caring and creative.
