ABOUT ME
Born in the North East of England and currently residing in London I am screenwriter, director and founding member of the award winning Braine Hownd Films.
My directorial debut 'GUARDIANS' (Winner - Best Screenplay - Genreblast Film Festival 2017, Best Feature - Saints & Sinners Film Festival 2018, Best Comedy - Midwest Action & Comedy Festival 2018, Strasburg Film Festival & Rome Independent Cinema Festival, Best Director - Unrestricted View Film Festival 2018, Best Screenplay - Ramsgate International Film Festival 2018) will be online early 2019. It is represented by 101 International. My feature script Heckle was produced in 2012 and premiered at the Cannes Film Festival 2013. I have written scripts for Nu-Image Films and I am developing several other features at the moment including the films Coldfell (Winner - Best Screenplay - NOLA Horror Film Festival and the Independent Talents Film Festival) with RumJam Films (My Feral Heart). I am also developing my next directorial feature Limpet.
I also have an extensive background in theatre and audio drama. I was a founding member of the theatre company Joinedupwriters where, from 2004-2008, we produced 55 plays at the Old Red Lion theatre. I have also had my plays performed at theatres such as The Soho Theatre, The Arcola, The Riverside Studios, The Kings Head, The Gatehouse, The Hen and Chickens, Jermyn St, The Lost Theatre festival, Player-Playwrights and The Camden Fringe festival.
In 2009 I set up the award winning audio drama company Tin Can Podcast with my brother Jonathan, writers Mike Shephard (BBC Radio 4) and Mark Lindow and sound and music technician Fred Fournier. We produced over 100 plays and won the FRINGE REPORT AWARD for BEST AUDIO in 2011 and garnered 5000+ downloads a week.
