My Personal Ident

This is my personal ident that I will be putting at the beginning of my films. I got the idea one night when a collection of fire engines congregated on the road opposite my house. I started filming what was going on like a nosy so and so. Once I had gotten bored I started putting the lights in and out of focus to see how it would look and walla...The ident.

The Fire - Basic Poster Design

Here is a basic poster design for 'The Fire'. Shelbie Wark a fellow colleague who worked in the sound department for the film will be helping me to design some professional looking promo posters for the film soon.


The Fire - First Edit Review

I had the first edit review today with Executive Producer Alex Crowton today. It went very well and he seemed really happy with how the film is progressing. We had an extensive talk about changes to be made and how to tighten up the edit. I will be getting round to those changes next week before the next edit review.

The Lady of the Night

The lady of the Night is my most recent film and was shot over two days in Stoke-on-Trent. I produced, directed and edited it together.


A shy, bookish young photographer meets a beautiful prostitute whilst out on one of his many photography trips, and proceeds to form a special relationship with her over the next few days.

Exploring themes of love, friendship and the heat of the moment.
