I went from chasing car thieves around a Manchester council car park and scraping up human excrement to co-founding LiveLeak — one of the internet’s most raw and controversial platforms. I’ve been a product demonstrator for major musical instrument companies, helped get ItemFix off the ground with practical suggestions and tutorials, and somehow ended up lecturing in Copenhagen and being invited to a NATO debate.

Today I make psychological horror films (CARA is streaming on Tubi and Prime) and think seriously about what the next generation of honest, unfiltered media needs to look like.
