Our film won ‘Best UK Feature’ at London Independent Film Festival
Well done to all involved, especially Jazz and Hardeep for the tons of hard work put in to getting this across the line. Loved writing this one for Jazz Ballah (pictured here with lead Amar Chaggar) and look forward to the next!

Starting to put together my meeting plans for #cannes this year.
If you’re a director or a producer loooking for a new feature, a writer for hire or a script editor get in touch and hopefully we can hook up for a chat.

Went to see #timetravelisdangerous last night at Bluewater. A truly independent British film that’s a hoot! It’s in limited cinema’s for a limited time so make an effort to get out there and see it. Support independent film!! Especially if it’s great.
