About Me



I"m currently living in Taipei, waiting to start my new job as video director. I will be visiting Europe very soon before starting my new life properly here.

My Interests

Besides film and video...hmmm...I'm just getting into still work at the moment, mixing digital photography with different printing and stenciling processes. I sing, pretty well but don't ask me to prove it to you. I would love to do some vocal work and am working on some stuff with fellow Tengo Collective peeps . I'm getting myself back into writing so I can begin that script I've been thinking about for the last few months.

I'd like to meet:

Wong Kar-Wai, actually I think I did once in a whiskey bar in Taipei but he said it wasn't him...but I think it was...really!!I would kill to meet Michel Gondry.I'd also like to meet anyone who likes what i do and has good ideas.I don't want to meet anyone who wants to use my services for a weekend on the promise of a fried egg sandwich, a train fare and a VHS copy that never appears. If you can't sort out your own crew far enough in advance don't expect me to bail you out. Does that sound bitter shooters?

Music:

I don't play anything apart from the didjeridoo (and that not very well) but I've been lucky enough to be surrounded by musically gifted people for most of my life and I'll be honest I couldn't live without it. For example check out the ever so talented DJ Readybreak . and if you've got a moment check out The Tengo Website .

Come on in... the water's potentially harmful

I'm sat at the space machine (iMac) and guzzling a can of the nearest thing I can find in the 7-11 to cider; apple flavoured 'Fruits Rich Chu-Hi'. It doesn't taste like cider, but its alcoholic, fizzy...

Too much to bother with?

It's been a while since my last blog for a number of reasons; namely, the celebration of mine and other people's birthdays, a short trip to Hong Kong, and also largely the frustration of writing any l...

West Meets East

West meets EastI've had a heavy few days last weekend moving from one sleep deprived, intoxicated state to another. This was followed by a few days of sufficient but irregular sleeping, involving goin...

Mopeds and Bipeds

I've just eaten a bowl of quite unappetising looking food, which I had cooked. It was a dish my friend Yen had cooked me in London once: tomatoe fried eggs. Its basically sweet and sour pork but with ...

Ultraman is good for your kids

A contentious title you'll agree, and I'm aware that might seem a foolish statement to make but if you'd spent a day with the family that I have been with then you may be inclined to agree. I'm still ...
