The education side of my work has taken me to schools, prisons, youth clubs, community centres and TV studios. I have 24 years experience working with young people and adults on creative projects, and I have a PTLLS qualification for teaching adults.
I've worked on education projects/films for the BBC, Bristol City Council, Bath University, University of the West of England, Watershed Arts Centre, Knowle West Media Centre, Kingswood Foundation, Young Bristol and many schools including Harrow School. Also I stepped in to cover as the video and multimedia degree course leader for one year at BIMM, Bristol (BIMM is a international music college.)
Some of the larger projects that i've worked on in the past are listed below.

BFI Film Academy - RIFE Magazine - Watershed Arts Centre
I worked at the Watershed as a mentor on their BFI documentary course for young people. My group made a doc challenging the school curriculum and wether it's really useful to learn algebra!

Tick Tock - Watershed Arts Centre
I worked with a group of young people from St Pauls, Bristol on this film based on 'Olympic values.' We worked with BAFTA actors on a three day shoot, and the final film was very well received including screenings at Electric December and Four River Film Festival in Croatia.

A huge project where I trained and worked with a group of young people to document Teenage Rampage. Taking place across the south west we produced around 20 films capturing the music and energy of this inspirational competition. Click on picture to view.

CHANNEL ZERO MEDIA CLUB - I ran a weekly media youth club for three years in inner city Bristol. A highlight was securing Mediabox funding to make a computer game. Collaborating with elders from St Pauls, the game was nominated for 'most innovative project' in the First Light Awards. The awards ceremony in Leicester Square, London was a real highlight for the young participants.
I've worked on many film and creative projects for the learning communities teams, and for youth and play services. Running 11, week long courses in HMP Bristol with prisoners was a highlight. I regularly worked across a wide range of schools, youth centres, and community projects both documenting and teaching.
I've worked on 12 separate film making projects for the network. Mostly working with children who are taken out of school a day each week to help support their learning. We had great success engaging them in film projects, getting them creative, inspired and proud of their achievements.
I've worked on many film projects with KWMC, including a major project in St Mary Redcliffe School, working with sixth formers to produce ten films for their online learning network. I've also documented a number of events including their XLR hip-hop festival.
Working with young people from Knowle West we made a film about the sexual health services available to young people in Bristol. The film attracted a lot of media attention, including interviews on BBC Points West.
