About Me

I am a boomswinger by day and writer/producer/director by night and weekends - because I have to do it myself as no one will hire me.Currently I work on Shortland Street to pay the bills. I am also producing a comedy series called Boyband (www.boyband.co.nz).I have a few more projects in the pipeline such as a full length feature film to be shot in feb 2007. Busy, but loving it!Check out my videos if you want to see the zany stuff we do :)

My Interests

Cars, movies, videogames, writing, music. I'd like to say walks on the beach and candle lit dinners, but they suck ass.

I'd like to meet:

Anyone interested in working on my projects be it cast or crew. At this stage we shoot everything for free as we are budgetless, but we have great access to top talent both behind and in front of the camera and loads of gear. Get in touch if you wanna help out on our SFX extravaganza CAPTAIN AMAZINGLY INCREDIBLE - we shoot feb 2007 with the aim of a national (and perhaps one day international) theatre release. I'd also like to meet anyone who's not a weirdo. Meet enough of them as it is.

Music:

I love hard trance, trance, rock, all style from ultra commercial "crap" to more underground dwelling bands.

Movies:

Superman returns rocked! Anything funny and/or with loads of action. Not too much of a drama fan because I've had too much of that in my life and like to watch flicks that don't force me to think - like that movie PRIMER - WTF HAPPENED IN THAT FILM?!?!?!?!

Television:

Scrubs, Family Guy, Star Trek Voyager, Firefly, My Name is Earl, The Office, Father Ted, Red Dwarf, Boyband (tee hee). I love good comedies and sci-fi.

Books:

Um, I don't read much. I have real ALL of Dan Browns publications, however ;)

Heroes:

Superman, because he can look through womens clothes and light fires with his eyes. I also idolize people who don't modify their Myspace profile pages as all that does is look messy and slow the whole fucking place down!

My Blog

Woohoo!!

Well, I got my first Hollywood film writing gig today. YIPPEEEEEEEE! Let's hope it does well in the box office! In other news, I'm still a boring prick.

2 new accomplishments

Well, today I not only made 100 Myspace friends, but (please excuse the grammatical error of using a comma before a "but") I also managed to scrape my toe on the ground on my bike. I have only done th...

Weird bald guy

Well, my clippers gave out halfway through a number one, so I am now that weird bald guy that you see standing in the corner on his own, talking to himself. Check out my pics if you need a good laugh....

Why do barmen speak in tongues?

Well, I uploaded my short film "Only Barmen Speak in Tongues" for your viewing (dis)pleasure, but the stoopid f'ing Myspace site botched it and it didn't go through. Now I get to look forward to anoth...

Well, my show Boyband is now available online. We made it for absolutely no budget so I hope it does okay so that I can actually pay everyone who worked on it. Would be great to make a second season t...
