THE HOUSE ON LIDDERMAN STREET. My second feature as a writer/director. Made on peanuts, but, I believe, a lot of heart.

A great evening at the Spark Filmmakers Showcase. Thank you to Johnathan and all involved in making it happen. Was great to see BABY ON BOARD and LAURA LIVING BACKWARDS on a big screen one final time.

Hopefully this will be the first many showcases for filmmakers in the region.

@realgdt.bsky.social Hi, long shot, but I wondered if you fancied checking out the trailer for my latest micro-feature? It was made on little more than ambition and good will. Shot in 8 days. Thanks.
