I've been writing and directing short films since I was blown away by Raiders Of The Lost Ark as a ten year old.

In 2009 I completed Tormented, a teen horror comedy and my first feature film. It was released in 230 UK cinemas, the first British film under £1 million to get a “studio level” release.

Grabbers, a monster movie comedy set in Ireland, had its international premiere at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival. Sony Pictures are set to distribute in the UK and Ireland and the US distribution deal will be announced very shortly...

About Me

I love movies. Making them, watching them, talking about them.

When I was a kid I had a book called Fantastic Cinema which was broken into three sections; horror, fantasy and science fiction. That sums up my interests as a film maker, really. I love Scorcese gangster movies and films like Trainspotting but I doubt I'll make many films set in “the real world”.

Geek

I'm fascinated by computers, and the internet.

I love comics and graphic novels but can't concentrate long enough to read novels any more, except when I'm on holiday (even though half of my university degree was English Literature).

I co-founded a company called 4K London which specialises in the Red One digital movie camera.

I prefer PCs to Macs.

I wear an old school digital watch.

Eco Worrier

I worry about the environment. I think benevolent millionaires should club together to buy up all the land in the world that hasn't been built on, and turn it into national parks.

Real Me

I live in a small town by the seaside, with my girlfriend and my young son Sam.

I like a pint in the pub, preferably an old pub, with my girlfriend, or a few longtime friends, or a bunch of actors. Or all of the above.
