Creativity has always been part of who I am , with a background in Creative Short Films
and sold out film screenings / events. In 2015 after twenty years in various Sales
Management Roles I turned my passion for creativity into a free lance business
launching Emberlense Productions
Since 2015 we have supported businesses from Technology, Estate Agents, Hospitality
and Tourism industries. With Promotional films for websites, social media, events and
Digital signage .
My Documentary film work has led me to collaborate with many local / national
organisations. Most recently I collaborated with Squircle Arts in writing a film Production
Course for young people aged 11 to 16 , the outcome being a Documentary film about
the Spanish Flu to be part of Torquay Museum's Spanish Flu 2018 / Spring 2019
Exhibition.
I am very keen supporter of the local film industry giving voluntary talks to businesses
and local colleges about Indie Film Making. In 2015 I instigated the English Riviera Film
Festival which has grown in just four years into a two week film festival with an
International film Awards Ceremony . With Winners in 2018 in Devon, Los Angeles and
the Netherlands.
In 2017 I was the UK marketing Manager for a locally produced feature film called
Scarey Crows producing a a weekly vlog series following the film makers journey to
Premiere of the film in Los Angeles & social media - booked press interviews . 2018 a
short creative film I Directed and Produced called Beard Envy with local acting - crew
talent had great success at festivals in New York in Aug 2018 .
Being a Big 1980's Music fan I collaborated on the creative concept for Tom Bailey's (of
Thompson Twins fame) new music video for his new single 'What kind of world' which
debuted on Billboard magazine in July 2018 .
I am very keen to support more businesses to get there message across with film and to
collaborate with more organisations / events . With a skill set which includes Directing,
Producing , Editing, camera and production planning. With a free lance team to cover any
size of production.
