One morning, early last year, I was at home listening to some Bruce Springsteen. Then I stopped the music and made a cup of tea. Much to my confusion, I could still hear Springsteen playing. It briefly crossed my mind that maybe a neighbour was listening to The Boss, but I swiftly ruled this out […]

Here’s a comedy sketch I shot with two of my favourite upcoming actors, Libby Grant and Claire Marlein. It’s about the infuriating nature of a good person trying to get a simple refund. It’s not entirely autobiographical, but it sure feels like it. We filmed this the day after I wrote it, and we only […]

1. It’s lonely! You may be working alone, or you may be working with fifteen people. But then you finish a project and those fifteen people are gone. It seems glamorous to people who don’t do what you do but the reality is, you have to navigate your way alone. You have to get yourself […]

So, here’s Libby Grant’s showreel: When I first met Libby, I was excited by her energy and sense of humour. She had a lot to give when it came to screen acting but hadn’t really had the chance to demonstrate her talent in the right way. She showed me a compilation of her previous screen-work, […]

Over a decade ago, I was working with an organisation called Act For Change, filming holocaust survivors in schools around the UK as they gave talks about what they’d been through and discussed with students what could be learned from it. The founder of the organisation, Lea Misan, asked if I was available to film […]

So I’m on the phone with my Mum and she says suddenly, “your blog is empty”. “What do you mean?” I ask. “Your blog is gone,” she says. Panicked, I worry my whole website has fallen apart but then I hear my Dad in the background saying, “You haven’t updated it since December!” My parents were letting […]

Hello all! I am excited to have found a gap in my schedule where I can head to Manchester for one week in mid-February 2018 (11th-18th) where I will be offering my Single Scene Showreel Service. Spaces for this are extremely limited so get in touch ASAP.   The Process: THE CONSULTATION. We will have a Skype […]

I am delighted to be working with the new look Mandy (formerly Casting Call Pro) to offer one of the prizes for the EMERGING ACTOR WINER. The actor selected by the judges will receive my top three scene package. I think the monologue competition is a terrific thing. I have always believed in actors not […]

Here are some clips from recent showreels. All of these scenes are from this summer. In fact two of the scenes I filmed this week. I create showreels completely from scratch for trained actors. I am proud of the clips in this video because they are good examples of what I try and capture for […]
