About me:
Hi welcome to my space for Monday Night Pictures, devoted to the serious business of part-time film-making.
I'm always happy to link up with film-related types, and people who are into watching and making movies. Or if you have a band or are a musician and would like to make a video or generally fart about, feel free to get in touch. I will try and put some sample films up as soon as I can.
I also make music, but I dunno if it merits its own myspace yet, so for now you can e-mail if you wanna hear some new stuff. I used to be in Inverness rock fools Lymerick Smith (see my friends section), and I am also thinking about trying to get another band together at some point, but I've been saying that for years. If you fancy forming a band, get in touch too.currently seeking a keyboard/piano player and bassist
Also for chucking some freelance web design/print/video/myspace pimping work my way check out designlike.

Who I'd like to meet:
Peter Jackson. Church Hamilton. Funny Women. Pretty Women. Musical Women. Umm. Steven Spielberg, if he was a hot funny female bass player or something.
And of course all the people in my friends list whom I have not so far had the pleasure of meeting. Even the famous ones.
