His most recent film The Bayview (2021) a film about an extraordinary family who turned a derelict hotel into an international fisherman's hostel, won best European Film Award at Clermont-Ferrand film festival and has been nominated for best short at the European Film Academy 2022. The film also won Scotland's Year of Stories Short Film Award at the Glasgow Short Film Festival, 2022.
