About Me

I am a co-founder of Trash Arts film. In the past I have been associated with Riyadh Haque and Mark Chesman, if you wish to view our films or find out more then please visit the myspace. We recently finished making the feature length film 'flummox' (2007). The film is about the questions of reality which was written by me, co-directed and produced by Riyadh Haque and Pete Scott and me. If anyone wants to know more info, get in touch: [email protected]. At the moment, I'm working on several other projects in the Portsmouth including feature films and TV work. Also, constantly writing very obscure scripts which if anyone's interested in buying, please get in touch! This years features involve suicide, musical madness, mass murder and contemplation, thats right im a gloomy bastard!http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction =viewImage&friendID=279879767&albumID=0&imageID= 13643302008 plans: best kept secretAs well as film, I'm also involved in music. I was in the bands IMPLODE but we soon split after my failure as a co-front man with Adnan Kemenica. Now I put on the odd gig to sponsor/publicize Trash Art films and the emerging Portsmouth scene with the help OF Dan Clarke from the Oberon project. Additionally, we are setting up another band with Adnan Kemenica called 'Motive'. At the moment, 'Motive' are working on their debut material.You'll find me nowadays at most gigs set up by the Oberon project or Joel ransom. Feel free to come over and chat. I will also most definitly be at gigs by the following local artists: Hold Fast, Kurt Cooder, Underdog, Karen Harmony, Multi-Coloured Green, Fresh Legs, Rattle Snake, Cool Banana etc.But right now, I'm enjoying a variety of different films and always, always staying busy...Black Smoke myspace layouts
