Quote about Mummy's Girl: "A haunting, bitter- sweet account of the double life of a troubled child. Touching, atmospheric and very well judged by all the talents involved"

Writer/Director currently being mentored by Kenneth Branagh as part of the Guiding Lights 2008/09 Film Mentoring scheme.

I have worked as Writer/Director on a series of successful short films; two of which are currently being streamed on the BBC Film Network website, "showcasing new British filmmaking talent". 'A Day Out With Gwyn' featuring Frank Kelly from Channel 4 's, 'Father Ted', won 'Best Screenplay' at the 2005 'Finest Films Awards'.

I attended the International Film School, Wales from 2002-2005, studying under Cannes' Prix Art et Essai winning Director Florence Ayisi (Sisters in Law).

In 2004 I was selected to direct a 92 second poetic short as part of Peter Greenaway's 'Tulse Luper Suitcases' film/art project.

Last year I had two screenplays optioned by Urban Way Productions, a London based independent production company founded by actor/producer Ray Panthaki (Ali G In Da House/28 Days Later/Kidulthood). 'Heaven: The Passion of Chris' has currently secured $20m finance (50% of the budget).

In 2008 I travelled to Angola, West Africa after I was commissioned to direct a documentary about the Miss Landmine beauty pageant for landmine victims.

I am also featured on Channel 4's 4Talent website 'The Directory', "The 4Talent Film Directory. Handpicked practitioners from in front and behind the camera".

I am available for commissions and am currently seeking representation.
