I am a British artist and filmmaker based in Paris. For over six years, I have explored the city not just as a resident, but as a site of constant research. My background is in the academic and practical world of the arts; I hold a Master’s in the History and Philosophy of Art from the University of Kent and spent two years as a resident at Le Fresnoy - Studio national des arts contemporains. When I am not directing my own film projects or engaged in independent research, I am walking. For me, Paris is a living archive—a place where the history of the avant-garde and the images of the New Wave filmmakers still define the street corners. My goal as a guide is to help you see the city not just as a collection of monuments, but as a series of layers, textures, and stories. I offer a perspective that combines deep historical context with a filmmaker’s eye for detail.

Paris, a city once consumed by Nazi occupation, forgotten wartime secrets linger, waiting to be uncovered. You’ll come to understand the haunting complexities of life beneath Nazi rule. As you wander through these storied lanes, you’ll feel the presence of those who lived and struggled here. Perhaps you’ll stumble upon a piece of your own family’s history, a history though distant, feels unnervingly close. From the personal stories that still echo in the walls, to the towering figures who shaped the city’s fate, you’ll gain an intimate understanding of what it truly meant to survive this dark chapter in time. Paris during World War II will come alive in front of your eyes, explore a once-hidden hotel that sheltered both Holocaust survivors and their Nazi captors, discover bullet-riddled buildings where those who served and protected faced unimaginable peril, and so much more.
