"Don’t Put Thoughts, Put Feelings. Feelings Are Easy To Write".

I Will Miss You Yasmin.

The first time I met Yasmin, it was in her office at Leo Burnett. I had managed to get in touch with her via her blog, and asked her if we could meet as I wanted her to appear in my debut film S’kali. In that first meeting she was nothing short of gracious and [...]

Boycott Speedy Video

So am back from Malaysia and thought I better highlight this for Malaysian fans of MJ.
I purchased a DVD entitled Michael Jackson- History World Tour Kuala Lumpur from Speedy Video 1 Utama (see attached picture), which was heavily promoted and displayed proudly on all the shelves. It was meant as a gift for my partner [...]

A New Film To Write

So whilst I was out and about in the morning yesterday, I got an idea for the next film I would like to write. This is how it tends to work for me. Something triggers me off, this time it was the radio. I got to thinking about something I heard and that led to [...]
