I'm Paris, a dynamic and passionate creative storyteller, deep-rooted in the world of film and music. I am an award-winning filmmaker a versatile background encompassing film production, music production, video editing, camera operation, and directing. I thrive on immersing myself fully, fuelled by my love for the craft.
During my teenage years, I found it hard to express myself until I discovered how art could express what my voice couldn’t. These early influences sparked my fascination with the power of audio and visual storytelling. As someone who is constantly curious, I delved into documentary filmmaking, using my lens to illuminate societal issues and human stories close to my heart. Exploring the world of consciousness and understanding the inner and outer journey of the human experience.
As my career unfolded, I found myself exploring new horizons in music videos, collaborating with renowned musicians, and venturing into the realm of DJing and audio production. From iconic clubs to festival stages spanning the UK, Ibiza, Germany, and Australia, I immersed myself in the rhythmic heartbeat of global soundscapes.
Today, I'm in the pursuit to support the voices that are not heard, where social and cultural issues are hidden by the mainstream. Weaving together the need of knowledge and insight through audio and visual narratives to create profound human connections one adventure at a time.

Documentary
Deeply influenced by the power of plants, animals and natural elements, the Shipibo are an indigenous community in the Amazon Rainforest of Peru, who are fighting to protect their culture and maintain their ancestral knowledge, despite years of invasion and colonisation.
This is a story we are all too familiar with — an indigenous community breaking down and now their knowledge and traditions threatened. But their culture is far from gone, the Shipibo are a very resilient community and through years of colonisation and conflict, they still stand strong, united to protect their knowledge and the environment that has served them for millennia.
This documentary will help the Shipibo people by stimulating a more conscious and direct economic growth to local people, and help support cultural and educational programmes that have been created by the family featured in the documentary. Awareness of their mission will help preserve and protect the people and the land they live on.
Community │Impact Campaign
Since 2017, I have supported the Shipibo community, to help protect and preserve their knowledge and traditions. The Shipibo are an indigenous community from the Amazon Basin of Peru, an Amazonian tribe that has stood the test of time. Whether it’s rubber barons enslaving their people, governments taking their land, the community have suffered at the hands of others throughout the ages. The Shipibo have a unique culture, particularly for their designs, language and shamans. Shipibo shamans hold thousands of years knowledge, past down by their ancestors.
Onanya is the result of discovering this community and receiving the call to support the Shipibo. I have been help raising awareness of their cause and supporting the development of the local projects, generating funds to build homes, teaching English to local children.
