New Video: At Home

Other

So I had this epiphany or something probably less dramatic,a few months back where I realised that my camera collected way too much dust and only came out for corporate jobs. Can a painter truly call themselves a painter if they only bring out their brushes on cue, on demand, when told and not because they want to in and of themselves? I’d say not. I’d say they’re just a hired hand. So I realised that I needed to make time to play and enjoy making the little videos that started me on my journey; the silly little handheld things…Keep reading >>

THE WORLD’S END – QUICK REVIEW

Other

Midnight screening of The World’s End. That’s the dedication, that’s the hype, those are the hopes I had for this film. I was in love before I even met the stranger on this blind date. In love because the previous work of my matchmaker had been spot on (Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz), and I had heard great things (Twitter, yeah). Armed with a Cornetto – alas, they only had Strawberry – and it was love at first sight. But as the clock ticked through, the night ended without any affection and I was gutted. *In the hope of…Keep reading >>

Talenthouse Ambassador

Other

I’m very happy to say that I’m now officially an Ambassador for the wonderful Talenthouse! It’s something I’ve been working towards for a while now so I can share the news in more detail. First off, I want you to know that I’m not employed by Talenthouse, but I became an ambassador because I truly believe in the cause. I feel so passionately about collaboration and networking with other creatives around the globe that I hounded Talenthouse until they agreed to let me help spread the word to creatives, from one artist to another. I want more people to know about it because…Keep reading >>

Man of Steel – Quick Review

Other

Blockbusters are seen by so many people with reviews floating around in every paper and on every blog that I’ll try not to spend too much time on in depth reviews of these films, because chances are you’ll already have heard most of what’s kicking around. I’ll try to focus my words on the smaller, less press friendly films. That said, I do love a good blockbuster and I’ll always have an opinion on them too so instead of an all out ban, I’ll try a ‘quick hit’ approach, throwing out some of my main thoughts in one stream of…Keep reading >>

Missing my Roots

Other

So I’ve been stuck in a mini rut recently with my filmmaking. Rut isn’t the right word, because I’ve been very lucky to be getting some very cool work in at the minute and I’m blessed to be doing what I do. I’ll never stop being grateful for everything I have, so I’m not going to moan, I guess I’ve just got an itch that needs scratching, a yearning for something slightly different. Career wise, things are moving in the right direction and I’m always busy with some project or another. I’m still a nobody in this huge industry so…Keep reading >>

Preview: The Iceman (UK Release: 7th June)

Other

Synopsis | “The true story of Richard Kuklinski, the notorious contract killer and family man. When finally arrested in 1986, neither his wife nor daughters have any clue about his real profession.” I get fixated on certain films before they’re released, I don’t know why or how, there’s just that obsessive fan inside me that loves getting hyped on a film. It’s a good thing and the day I lose that intrigue and excitement is the day that I should probably stop trying to be a filmmaker. You’ve got to get excited about what you do, and for what I do,…Keep reading >>
