FAIRY DUST, DESOLATION HEART

Cinematographer, Photographer, Poster Designer

Obsessed with horror.

IMDB: https://imdb.com/name/nm2122898
Pinned
Currently in the murky waters that is editing, which is both fun and frustrating. Also still raising money to help cover production and post expenses. We're £260 away from our £7500 stretch goal. Indie filmmaking, as always, needs all the help it can get. Details: tinyurl.com/FairyDustKS
New short WIP is called A STRANGE KIND OF CREATURE. Going back to my roots with a blend of erotica, dread, and Lovecraft-infused horror.

For the tree this year, Sophie decided to make MIDSOMMAR ornaments to hang. I love them so much.

I will never forget meeting Peter, outside a strip club at 2am, after I had just moved to L.A. It was a strange but memorable encounter, and a small indication of what living in LA for the next 20 years was going to be like.

RIP dude.
Aw man. Great actor. Appeared in my favorite movie of the year for 3 years in a row (Judgment Night, Pulp Fiction, Usual Suspects). Also I think about the fingernail scene in CLEAN, SHAVEN pretty much every time I break a nail. RIP.

I had the pleasure of hanging out with Chris quite a bit back in LA for a few years. Super wonderful dude and forever a huge inspiration on my work.
32 years ago Chris Halls painted this cracking cover for the Judge Dredd Megazine. Soon after he began working (as Chris Cunningham) on the Judge Dredd film. That led to him assisting Stanley Kubrick, directing music videos for Bjork, Madonna & Aphex Twin, working with Grace Jones & Gil-Scott Heron!

Are you an EU-based actor who can speak fluent English? Raise your hand! Looking to build my database of available actors for future film projects.

You MUST be able to work in the EU without a visa, so no American or UK actors, please.

Also, congratulations everyone who made something this year. A comic, a song, a film, a novel, a painting, a poem, a short story, a sculpture, crochet, embroidery, whatever it is. In this era of slop and theft, if you *make* something you are a shining jewel and I am so grateful for you.

This is going to be an excellent thing for up and coming writers. Was honored to be asked to consult on it a bit. AND it's actually free. AND it's built by an actual screenwriter. Pretty cool.
