My Work and Credits:

Arterial (2013)

About: Arterial is a silent, experimental film set to a pulsing soundtrack by electronic music pioneers Isan. An enigmatic adaption of the Keats poem La Belle Dame Sans Merci, it is set in the industrial hinterlands of England.

Arterial is a poetic meditation on the influence of landscape and environment on our state of mind.

ARTERIAL has screened at London Short Film Festival, Aesthetica Short Film Festival, East End Film Festival, Spilt Film Festival, FICMA and more...
