About Me

I have worked in a variety of community, public sector and private sector roles and currently raise funds for a local Fife charity, place students into Internships with Scottish companies for a French company and promote a fuel technology product for an American
company.

I am the founder of No Budget Low Budget Films in Scotland and am seeking to develop original intelligent feature length films that can showcase talent in Scotland.
