Over the coming few weeks, Luke, Ali & I as well as a great guy we know called John, are going to be working out the logistics to do a little test shoot we wanna try out. The objective of it is to use the little short we shoot to pitch for a much bigger [...]
I love this movie because it is so simple yet so profound.
I love this song because it says so much with so little and just breaks your heart.
I can only aspire to make a movie like ‘The Wrestler’ at some point in my career.
So on Saturday, the Befour team met up again after quite a while. We’re a bit of a spread out bunch, with Luke in Glasgow, Ali in Bristol and myself based in London.
After much discussion in December, it was decided that with the momentum of the 2 movies, and the fact that Befour is being [...]
I have not been down to Bristol for a few weekends now, partially scheduled, partially due to the adverse weather we had.
This weekend will be particularly busy as Luke is down from Glasgow for a meeting in which he, Ali & I will be firming up the structure of Befour Media which will now likely [...]

Now I never had the knack for documentary (the research and fact checking nearly killed me), and thus I have a lot of respect for people who do it well.
I’ve always [...]
Like most other writers, I listen to a lot of music whilst writing. Normally I home into a few tracks that fits the mood and tone of what I am writing and I just chuck it into a playlist and I keep in on a loop.
If I find myself stuck with the ol’ block, then [...]
So it had been a while since I picked up some books, and I was feeling a bit starved of good reading. When I am working on a new script, I tend to read a lot as I find it jogs the process and helps with forming ideas etc.
So I picked up the following :

Now, please feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but I first heard about this on a podcast with Roberto Orci & Alex Kurtzman and they were talking about how JJ Abrams uses this often to break down his story.
So as you can see, the 12 o clock position is the beginning and [...]
