As a freelance producer, he is producing multiple short films in the UK, including Oxpecker (in post-production), a queer horror film made with financial support from five funding bodies, The Sink (2025), an experimental silent film commissioned by the Cambridge ‘Rivers of Film’ Festival and funded by the National Lottery Community Fund, and Authenticity for Sale (in pre-production), a dark comedy.

In this role, he programmed a selection of short and feature films on the theme of “food and travel” and organised the sold-out UK Premiere of Snow in Midsummer (2024), Malaysian director Chong Keat Aun’s second feature.
