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, HB Film Festival 2019, 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) is now available on Sky Store, iTunes and Amazon Prime. It is represented by 101 International.
I recently completed production on my second feature 'Dead on the Vine'. It was produced during lockdown, adhering to all the Covid safety guidelines, by Laura Rees (Recoil Films). It wasn't easy but we did it and we are very excited with what we got. It is currently in post-production and should be ready early 2021. I am also developing my feature Limpet (Winner - Best Unproduced Screenplay - British Horror Film Festival 2019 & Lit Laughs Comedy Film Festival, Gold list - British Independent Film Festival) with Laura.
My feature script Heckle was produced in 2012 and premiered at the Cannes Film Festival 2013. I am developing several other features including the films Coldfell (Winner - Best Screenplay - NOLA Horror Film Festival and the Independent Talents Film Festival) with RumJam Films (My Feral Heart) and Harmony (Producer - Tim Willrich of Limbo Pictures).
I have the written feature films Shooting Paul (Completed) and Suppression (Pre-Production) for Goldfinch Studios over the last 12 months.
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 (Untold Stories) 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.
