About Me


I am a filmmaker in the Hastings madlands.
I work for a film production company - Toaster Productions - where I mainly edit, but also do assistant directing, camera work, and pretty much anything else that is needed. We work from our studio 'The Honeypot' right in the centre of town, where I probably spend more time than I do anywhere else in the world!
I've recently relocated to St Leonards, a stone's throw away form work, where I've moved in with 4 other doods who I love, and a mental cat who doesn't have a name. When I have time to myself, I'm cracking on with a few of my own projects, currently writing three feature films and two short films, one of which at least I am hoping to make before too long.
Here's the teaser trailer I've just finished for our latest feature film 'Eden Burning' which I'm editing the latest cut of now.
Things I like:
>Films and Film-making
>Reading and Writing
>Photography
>Playing Guitar
>Being With My Friends
>Tree Tunnels in Early Autumn
>Irish Cream with Coffee
>Laughing
>Liberal use of the word 'literally'
>Late Nights and Thunderstorms
