My approach to film is not fixed. In documentary work, I’m normally driven by the story and try to find the right form to emerge from it.
In fiction and experimental projects, the process can reverse: an image, a scene, or a formal idea often comes first and gradually gives rise to the narrative.

MCU is set entirely within the personal workspace of news anchor Adrian Finigham. Without ever leaving this confined environment, the film offers an intense, almost claustrophobic portrait, revealing his idiosyncrasies, routines, and professional as well as personal conflicts as he navigates a live television news broadcast in real time.
