I am a filmmaker, teacher, trainer and consultant in Moving Image Education. My work is focused on literacy and how we use it to make meaning in the digital world.
“Literacy is currently at a fascinating stage of development where traditional print makes up the bulk of book sales and curriculum tools, but understanding screen based online reading and writing is becoming increasingly essential” – (The Future of Literacy in the Digital Age, Scottish Government)
I have set up a Rock School for young people and a Film School for my local community. I have worked for the BBC and with many organisations including: The Royal Shakespeare Company, Screen Scotland, Creative Scotland, Future Woodlands Scotland, Trees for Life, Findhorn Bay Arts, Into Film, Arts in Motion, The Findhorn Foundation and many local councils.
I integrate active learning in film education with personal development.
