A few weeks ago, approached me with an idea: create a short film that celebrates winter sailing and champions getting out in all conditions to experience the quiet, ethereal beauty that comes with it.

I’ve been filming with these guys for years, and winter has always been my favourite time to be out on the water with them and my camera. So I dipped into the archive, added a few new moments, and this is what we made.

From the moment I joined the expedition, I knew I wanted to capture it all, the stillness, the chaos, and everything in between. The Arctic is as harsh as it is breathtaking, and I wanted that contrast to come through in every frame. Days were ruled by the rhythm of the dogs; their care set the pace and shaped the whole experience. I chose to shoot with the .official Remus anamorphic lenses due to their size and lovely character, to bring out the drama and depth of the landscape, while a limited colour palette kept things raw and honest — letting the cold, quiet beauty of the Arctic speak for itself.

I’ve wanted to create work for outdoor brands for years, and last year I had the chance to start that journey with Fjällräven, working on their Classic promos. To now have directed the global launch film for Fjällräven Polar 2026 feels surreal.
A 300km dogsled journey across the Arctic with twenty people from around the world — a story of endurance, connection, and wild beauty. This project was directed, shot, and coloured by myself, with the superb edit and sound design by Joseph Carnaby.
To think that just the two of us came together to create a global campaign film for one of the world’s leading outdoor brands is pretty wild. A project I’ll never forget and hopefully just the start of more to come.

It’s here, it’s live and it’s suppose to be wide! Rotate your phones people! Here’s the trailer in all its glory.

Peripheral follows Lucy as she faces a defining chapter in her life, navigating the gradual loss of her sight while holding onto her love for the outdoors. Set against the wild and rugged landscapes of the Lake District, the film captures her journey of resilience, adaptation, and rediscovery.

Through adventure and exploration, Lucy learns to push beyond fear and limitation, forging a deeper connection with nature and herself. Peripheral is a story about courage, friendship, and the power of finding freedom in uncertainty.

🎬 Coming soon to festivals worldwide.

It’s been a difficult week at home as we’ve just had to say goodbye to our beloved dog. I’ve found myself thinking back to this project I made for a film I know I couldn’t have created in the same way without truly understanding what dogs bring to our lives.

When I recorded the voiceover with Adrian, we spoke at length about our shared love for dogs. Listening to his words, drawn from years of experience, I knew they’d resonate with anyone who’s ever had a four-legged companion.

One line at the end of the film has stayed with me and now, I feel it deeply myself. I can’t yet bring myself to go for a walk without my shadow by my side. I know that feeling will soften in time, but it’s remarkable to realise just how strong that bond was.

There will be other dogs in my life one day, each with their own personality, joy, and mischief, just as Silver did. But for now, if you’re near yours, give them a gentle pat on the side from me.

Late last night, after nearly a year of work, the documentary I’ve been pouring myself into is finally finished 🥳

The story has shifted and evolved in true documentary fashion, but where it’s landed feels just right. Honestly, I think it’s the best story I’ve ever had the chance to help tell — a film that brings together everything I’ve learned from years of watching and making films.

The trailer will be out soon, and you can follow along at to see which festivals it heads to and what happens next.

Huge thanks to everyone who helped bring this project to life — especially for trusting us with her story. Massive appreciation to my editor for all the support and an unbelievable turnaround in post, to for stepping in at the last minute with incredible work, .studio for the poster design and to for supporting this project from the very start. Couldn’t have done it without you all 🙌
