Director's Filmography

--> --> Hi, this is a space where you can learn more about my filmography. I have been writing screenplays for many years, some produced, some waiting to be produced. My first produced screenplay was an independent film I worked on called 'Nine Days of Hell' directed by the very talented Martin Stitt.  They say that each week working on a film is equivalent to a year at film school, working with Martin I quickly learnt that film directing was something that I wanted to do.

Nitro Dust (2013)

This is a short film I directed in September 2013, I had a small core team for a two days and we worked like hell to make a movie in that time.

I always wanted to make a car chase short and a western, here in Nitro Dust I melded the two together to make a car chase in a western style.




Digitopia: Discover Me (2013)

This short film I directed as part of the bigger feature prodcution.  I finished the film in January 2013, I did all the 3D, I had help with the 2D from the awesome GUI animator and two amazing sound designers.

Be Me (2004)

My directorial debut was a few years earlier, I wrote produced and directed a short called 'Be Me'.  I shot this on 35mm film and was very fortunate to have some very seasoned VFX pros to help me on the effects for this.

Boxing Day (2005)

This is a short Docu-drama I filmed with a boxer I met, I turned up expecting to make a portrait of a pro-am boxer, but as the evening drew on there were several twists and turns screwed up the plans, of course I was there with camera and turned it into a captivating piece of film.
