Hey new followers. A bit about me: filmmaker of shorts for about a decade, now developing feature films and TV. Bit of a theme park and rollercoaster enthusiast. Slightly obsessed with my four cats.

Haven't checked-in here for a while... plenty of action happening behind closed doors with something very cool we're packaging for HETV commissioners. IT: Welcome To Derry has given us a huge dose of optimism for something monstrous, grisly, and hella cosmic... with some dark magic....and demons.

Now finished :-) now let's get this thing done
A few pages away from finishing my draft of Bec part 4. From a purely creative and wish-fulfilment standpoint, I am genuinely gutted to be so close to finishing my writing on the script, but equally tremendously excited to deliver the goods to @darrenshan.com and @ijazi.bsky.social !!!

Pretty gutted that my original and signed copy of Bec went missing in London these past few weeks, but joyfully I've received my new copy...and it has the same cover! Writing the Bec finale can now continue. 🙂

I couldn't be happier that @darrenshan.bsky.social feels the faithfulness to his stories in our Demonata TV scripts. Especially my 'Bec' scripts. The truth is, there would've been no point in adapting the books by not staying true to the books, especially since they're already fantastic stories.
Today I started work on reading through and editing the scripts for the BEC segment of the proposed Demonata TV series.

When Spielberg hails filmmaking as the ultimate couch, he ain't kidding. Storyboarding is a time that you can put aside all the world's problems, and simply enjoy imagining your film as the first member of its audience. A satisfying part of the process. #billyfearlessfilm

I've always wanted to collaborate with a costume designer, and I'm thrilled to say that I've now entered the creative sandbox with Natasha Bilingham, the costume designer of viral Sci-Fi short 'The Nostalgist'. Expect very 'grunge' rock inspired anti-heroes, and very regal vampires! #vampirefilm

Last few weeks of pre-funded development, then off to the financiers we go! Crunch time.

Beyond thrilled that @darrenshan.bsky.social enjoyed our first Demonata TV script and that he's directly involved in the creative process. Hats off to @ijazi.bsky.social for writing a solid first episode (we're writing six each). Pic from Ijaz.
