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 for awards, screenings and festivals) 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, Screen International Star of Tomorrow). It wasn't easy but we did it and we are very excited with what we got. It has subsequently been taken on by Dan Films (Severance, Detour, Four Kids & It, Peter Bogdanovich's The Cat's Meow) and is in post-production.
Laura and I are currently developing my feature script Limpet (Winner - Best Unproduced Screenplay - British Horror Film Festival, Skyline Indie Film Festival & Lit Laughs Comedy Film Festival, Gold list - British Independent Film Festival) as our follow up film.
I recently came in the top 10% at the Academy Awards NIcholl's Fellowship Award for my script Whirlpool. 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).
My feature script Heckle was produced in 2012 and premiered at the Cannes Film Festival 2013.
I have the written feature films Shooting Paul (Completed) and Suppression for Goldfinch Studios over the last 18 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. I am returning to theatre at the end of the year with my first new play in a decade, Top of the Mountain.
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). We produced over 100 plays and won the FRINGE REPORT AWARD for BEST AUDIO in 2011 and garnered 10000+ downloads a week. Mark, Jonathan and myself are starting a new audio drama podcast with producer Lauren Reed under the name Stageless Theatre Podcast.
