i'm a director based in london
i’ve made lots of ads, branded content and music videos. i’ve directed robbie williams and take in their homes, from my shed, to make a 40 minute gig. and, again through my own company, seven productions, orchestrated a little mix concert at knebworth house to be live streamed to people, in lockdown.
i’m now making my first feature doc - more soon
my first short featured a then unknown michael fassbender, and my recent little film about my dad - shot on one roll of super 8 - is picking up festival selections at the moment
i was a producer for years in both production companies and agencies, on some quite special projects. click here for more
in 1999, i accidentally started what’s become a monster sideline: the super 8 film competition ‘straight 8’, when i asked 20 friends in the industry to try making a short film on one roll of super 8 each, with no edits. it’s a beast now, and i love it
my motto, if i ever had one, would be: do stuff
because i often say yes, not no, i’ve pitched websites at buckingham palace, held filmmaking workshops at SXSW and in L.A., mentored on the screenwriting MA at london film school, guested at bucks college, interviewed great filmmakers on stage at ciclope festival, and lots more
if you'd like to talk about, well, anything, you can contact me direct
thanks
