I break down movies through a filmmaker’s lens - analyzing cinematography, storytelling, direction, and the creative choices that make films work (or fail).
This channel isn’t about surface-level reviews. It’s about how films are made, why certain choices are effective, and what filmmakers can learn from them.
Expect film breakdowns, scene analysis, and occasional filmmaking lessons inspired directly by movies.

Hello my Friends,
I am finally finding my feet with my channel and getting out of my own way. Over the next month or two you’ll see some tweaks, a new lick of paint here and there, and a more focus lens of movie breakdowns through my filmmaking filter.
This Friday sees the 6th out of 10 series about all of the Best Picture nominees for this year’s Oscar’s. This week the nominee highlighted is ‘The Secret Agent’ starring the talented Wagner Moura.
After that is wrapped up with the 10th and final film, there will be some exciting new insights from me and I cannot wait to share all of this with you. Thank you so much for being on this ride with me.

This was a big surprise for me. I didn’t know much about this film. It’s a special flick. Have you seen it?

Hey everyone,
Just a quick message to say thank you to all my subscribers and old and new, it’s a pleasure to have you all check out my videos.
I’m suffering from a series of migraines and new videos will be coming soon. Just as soon as I can open my eyes and not be in pain.
NEW CAMERA
So I’ve received a new camera and waiting until the right moment to do an unboxing and deep dive into where it fits in my workflow. So please look out for that soon.
Thanks for your patience.

NEW VIDEO
Hello again! just had some production thoughts about collaboration, camera gear, ideas for 2026 and keeping more organised. Plus I filmed whilst I drove around. Exciting to your ears i’m sure.
Shot on iPhone using @TILTA and @beastgripTV filmmaking gear.
Have a great evening wherever you are.
