It’s been a while since I got a see a film with that little bit of quirky edge. The original back in 1992 by Abel Ferrera, starring Harvey Keitel, has been given a brilliant reinterpretation by Werner Herzog, set within a post Katrina New Orleans.
In an environment riddled with decay, Herzog presents the audience with [...]
I’ve been writing a lot of outlines and one sheet pitches over the past few days. I’d not done it for a while so it’s been suitable refreshing to sit and try and distill ideas down to their core themes and story beats.
The process led me to outline an idea for a feature which I’d [...]
For the coming days, fans of Lost will debate and dissect the finale to pieces, trying to find further details and meaning within every moment in it. You’re safe to read on, as I don’t intend to reveal any spoilers.

Here are some quotes from an email he sent to our team [...]
For the past few months, Ali and I have been working on 2 major apps, one for the iPad, the other for the iPhone.
What has been frustrating however, has been the total unprofessionalism from Apple.
It has been more than 6 weeks since we applied for our developers account, and still we have had no information [...]
So after months of negotiation and legal wrangling, I am now able to talk a little bit more about John Kotselis (partially his real name), and the part he played in the creation of 5:13.
Back in 2007, after returning to London from KL, post the release of S’kali, I was already chatting with producer Bahir [...]
The official website for our latest thriller 5:13 is now live, complete with information we’ve not been able to divulge before about the origins of the film as we were clearing certain things with legal.
I’ll blog about some further news in regards to the movie soon, as well as finally be able to talk a [...]
