Im a Bristol-born & bred London-based film and design creative specializing in film writing & directing whether its short or information or documentary or good old entertainment and I am currently developing a music video portfolio. I also have regular graphic design gigs for magazines, events publicity material, invites, websites and all sorts of stuff made handy by my BA (Hons) degree in Graphic Design which I fluked somehow. My work can be seen on WWW.BURSTEARDRUMFILMS.NET

SELECTED BURSTEARDRUM FILMS:
'OUTCALL' (2009) Trailer - a preview of the forthcoming sequel to 'Tricks' (2003) where the two characters encounter each other again five years later.
FILMMAKER'S SHOWREEL (2009) A selection of clips from my work.
'CLARITY' MY LADY JANE (2008) The rock 'n roll cliche is mocked as My Lady Jane finds themselves surrounded by debauchery and band hangers-.. a gig in this dark and claustrophobic video.
'MY FIRST MEMORY' MY LADY JANE (2008) This dark and cheerful song, from London-based glam-gypsy / ragtime band My Lady Jane (www.myspace.com/myladyjanemusic) tells a story of abusive relationships, the saviour of music and a positive outlook on life and is brought to life in a video with a cabaret and Dennis Potter-esq atmosphere.
Who I'd like to meet: Like-minded creative people who share a love for all things creative such as film making - from short to feature length films, music videos, graphic design & illustration, contemporary art and website design where, from our peers and idols, we use their enthusiasm, skills and unique ideas as inspiration for our own work.
