You never stop learning. And like many filmmakers before me, I have found that where I have really learnt was not back at uni 4 years ago, but rather from all the extras on DVD’s I have watched and all of the fantastic conversations with screenwriters in the business on podcasts.
In today’s day and age, [...]
So finally caught the movie last night. It’s true what they say about Danny Boyle, the man just sees the world from a different angle.
Kinetic really is the right word to use for the way this movie has been shot. Everything leaps off the screen, explodes off the screen even. I came out from [...]
With the momentum of the 2 new movies as well as the launch of the site, I have begun a renewed push both to seek out new work and representation.
The past week has been filled with emails, letters, writing samples & showreels.

I might be going to take meetings in Mumbai.
I don’t know when yet, but it will be before their summer and I’ve been told I will be meeting producers & directors who have an interest in English content.

I am kind of glad I did not go to [...]

Lot’s been made about Rourke, and yes it is all true. But what really stood out for me was how understated the whole thing was, and how that lent itself to creating an outstanding movie. [...]
So all the new seasons of the TV shows I follow are back. ‘Damages’ Season 2 kicked off last week with a great opener which set up the next part of the ongoing story, but had some clunky dialogue.
Last night sat we sat down to the first episode of ‘Battlestar Galactica’ Season 4.5 and were [...]
With it being awards season at the moment, there are a slew of movies opening back to back here in London. Truth be told I have not watched any of them yet, mainly down to time and money. But more importantly, it’s really made me think about what a film needs to do, to convince [...]
