ABOUT ME
Born in the North East of England and currently residing in London, I am screenwriter and director.
My directorial debut 'GUARDIANS' (See dedicated page) is now available on Sky Store, iTunes, FreeVee TV and Amazon Prime. It is represented by 101 International.
My second feature 'DEAD ON THE VINE' had its world and UK premiere at Kevin Smith's Smodcastle Film Festival and the BIFA qualifying Unrestricted View Film Festival respectively. It took home awards for BEST FILM and BEST ACTOR (Tom Sawyer) at both festivals along with BEST ENSEMBLE at Smodcastle and BEST DIRECTOR and BEST ACTRESS (Shereener Browne) at Unrestricted View.
Laura and I are developing my feature script LIMPET (Winner - Best Unproduced Screenplay - British Horror Film Festival, Horrified Film Festival & Lit Laughs Comedy Film Festival, Gold list - British Independent Film Festival) as our follow up film.
The TV series Mister Mayfair, for which I wrote the feature length fourth episode Shooting Paul (starring Golden Globe winner Armand Assante and Starship Troopers Casper van Dien) is now available on AppleTV.
I recently placed in the top 10% in the Academy Awards Nicholl's Fellowship Award, Top 15% at the Austin Film Festival and Finalist at the Manchester Film Festival and the International Scriptwriting Contest of New York for my script Whirlpool. My short films have been selected for such BAFTA qualifying festivals as Raindance and the London Short Film Festival.
I am developing several other features including the films Coldfell (Winner - Best Screenplay - NOLA Horror Film Festival) with RumJam Films (My Feral Heart).
My feature script Heckle was produced in 2012 and premiered at the Cannes Film Festival 2013 and I have the written feature film Suppression for Goldfinch Studios and I adapted the supernatural thriller The 9th Circle (Alex Bell) for Nu Image Studios.
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. My plays have been 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, Have I Got News For You) and Mark Lindow (Untold Stories). We produced over 100 plays and won the FRINGE REPORT AWARD for BEST AUDIO in 2011 and garnered 10000+ downloads a week.
