Welcome to the digital portfolio!

My name is Django, and I work in many different fields - film & TV, theatre, graphic design, game design, tech, events... the list goes on.

I have made work for the screen, stage and page, as well as award-winning participatory projects for non-traditional audiences.

Much of my work is at the intersection of art and technology. I design and develop dynamic, engaging audiovisual content with a focus on bold visual narratives.

There's so much to say and to show, so explore this site to see the kind of work I do (or skip to the Sitemap if you don't like exploring).

Other work

I've done so much different work that it's hard to fit it all in -- so here are some other things I haven't been able to include otherwise.

• 

  One For All: a livestreamed gameshow with remote contestants

• 

  Pinocchia: an award-winning remote performance

• 

  Facilitation work and arts workshops

• 

  Tech support for simultaneous interpretation

• 

  Minority language film screenings

• 

  Four More Walls: award-winning digital workshops

My background

I've been drawing as long as I can remember, and making films as soon as I could get my hands on a camera.

I got into technical theatre at university, and learned the software for video design and projection mapping during lockdown.

I'm self-taught when it comes to coding and software development.

I now work as a freelance artist, filmmaker, and designer.

Skills

I'm a generalist and have a wide skillset, including:

Education

I have a BA in Philosophy and Linguistics (graduated 2021).

I studied film with the BFI FutureFilm Academy (2017) and was on the BAFTA Mentorship programme (2018).

I studied facilitation with the National Theatre Learning Department.

I have a Level 2 Certificate in British Sign language, and am currently studying Level 3.

While at school I took classes in cartooning and comic book art from HuwJ Matsumura.

My interests

I'm interested in stories: film, theatre, prose, music, journalism, anything with narrative.

I like working on projects which embrace and champion accessibility -- I've worked on projects with Deaf artists, learning-disabled artists, and artists with limb differences.

I'm interested in minority languages -- I've started curating film screenings of films in British/Celtic minority languages.

I love movies -- my favourite filmmaker is Buster Keaton.

I studied analytic philosophy at university, and am particularly interested in metaphysics and logic. I wrote my thesis on time travel.

I play bass guitar and occasionally write songs. I play basketball (badly) and am taking gymnastics/tricking classes.
