The Blog

Welcome to my corner of the internet. This blog is a collection of thoughts, stories, ideas, projects, and occasional obsessions. You’ll find posts about filmmaking, storytelling, theatre, technology, the paranormal, creativity, and whatever else happens to hijack my attention for long enough to make me write about it. I’m a chronic overthinker, which means I have a habit of trying to understand and explain the unexplainable—or sometimes topics that were probably never meant to be explained in the first place. Expect deep dives, personal reflections, behind-the-scenes insights, and the occasional rant about things I have absolutely no business ranting about.

I Shot the Sheriff – a Western film project

Three years ago I had an idea. It was a great idea. Although it remained just an idea. It's no longer an idea. Shall I just get straight to the point? I'm writing a movie, a big movie, a western movie. It will cost a lot of money to make. Am I ready for it? Hell yes!

Making Television History in the New Year

2020 mark's my 23rd year as a filmmaker. In this time I have been involved in dozens of film, television, commercial and other projects. Admittedly I don't have a great deal to show for it but hopefully 2020 is the year this all changes.

Am I seriously losing the plot?

You know you have those days when you walk into a room and forget why you’re there? Today is one of those days… on acid!

Everybody needs a Sadie

An interesting thing happened today. I made a call to the Sky call centre as I'm very unhappy that they keep increasing their prices. Needless to say I needed Sadie to rescue me (and my wallet!)

I’m sorry, but I have a good reason!

I want to start this blog post by saying I’m sorry. Quite a lot has happened which means I hope you can forgive me for not having the time to blog.
