Currently working in my basement!
I’m starting this page as a direct way for anyone who believes in what I do to get involved in the journey. Every bit of support here goes straight back into making what I envision possible, whether that’s reconnecting with familiar faces I once aligned with, collaborating with new ones, or finding fresh ways to bring my ideas to life.
The money raised isn’t about me alone; it’s about fuelling projects that reimagine how we see and use our surroundings. I’ve always been drawn to transforming everyday environments into places of creativity and play — spaces where movement reshapes the ordinary and reminds us that the world is not fixed, but alive with possibility. That mindset has always driven me, and it’s what I want to bring forward again with new energy.
One of the big steps ahead of me in my career is that I am slowly positioning myself to invest in a Sony VENICE 2 camera system, a tool that usually finds its place on large film sets like Avatar. At around £100,000, it’s a huge investment, but my intention is to take it further. What makes this camera unique and why it stands apart from every other option is the Rialto extension system. While most industry cameras are heavy and bulky, the Rialto Mini allows you to separate the part where the lens attaches from the body, creating incredible freedom of movement as the body of the camera is connected to your back. For me, that means being able to truly merge my skills in parkour and rollerblading with cinematography, capturing perspectives and sequences that simply aren’t possible with traditional setups.
What excites me even more is how unusual this tool would be in the kinds of environments I want to use it in. Cameras of this level are designed for controlled film sets, yet my vision is to bring the VENICE 2 onto the streets, where its presence is almost unheard of. To take a camera designed for Hollywood and drop it into the chaos and creativity of a street session — that’s the kind of collision I believe can spark something new, something truly original that draws our inspiration.
By combining high-end filmmaking with raw, unfiltered movement, the VENICE 2 would enable me to create films that show parkour in ways rarely seen, reviving the spirit of the old jam videos but on another level. Not only will this tool establish me as a respected source for action cinematography in the industry I am currently involved in, but it will also enable me to give back. My aim is to step aside at times and create something that returns what was invested in me.
This isn’t just about equipment, it’s about building a bridge. My career as an action cinematographer has given me the knowledge, experience, and access to these tools on a frequent basis, but what excites me most is using them to serve the culture I feel blessed to have been a part of. To explore the mindset behind movement. To show both the play and the craft, along with the creative stimulus I have in this approach, to actually start moving again myself. To create films that inspire creativity, reflection, and movement in others.
Your support here helps make that vision possible sooner rather than later. It fuels not only the investment in gear, but the freedom to explore more broadly — from gatherings with friends to traveling to events, even planning retreats built around movement and creativity. Every project becomes more than content; it’s a chance to inspire someone else to move differently, to reimagine the ordinary, and to see the world with fresh eyes again.
This page is an invitation. An invitation to back something new in a world that often feels repetitive. To be part of reigniting the love for play, for movement, and for creating films that matter.
By becoming a member, you’ll bring these ideas one step closer to reality. Every contribution goes directly back into the world of art, helping turn movement and storytelling into something lasting and meaningful.
I want to thank you for your support. Every contribution goes straight back into the pot, not because I need it personally, but because I want to reinvest it into the parkour community and the projects that keep it alive. The time and energy I devote to this is matched by the time and belief you’ve given through your support.
