HAVE YOU MET YOUR DOPPELGANGER?

About Me

Non-stop idea creation system built in to my brain. You can't stop me talking. I enjoyed acting in drama at school and took part in as much as i could playwise as possible throught school life. Im a extreme media enthusiast and have been into it all since i was 2 years old. I made animations with clay and toys with my brother at about 6. I began making films (using the camera itself to edit) at about 9-10 years old with the help of friends, I always had a photographic camera with me, taking pictures all the time of friends and school trips, view and weird rocks etc. I then took my fascination to a different place when i reached 11, when i got software to make crappy tunes. I then got decks on my 13th birthday and became obsessed with them, i was either at school or on the decks. And so, four years passed and i had played a good few gigs and loved it, christmas arrived and i was given a new video camera. I got editing hardware and software and had my first proper go at making a film. -- THE CREATURE FROM ANOTHER LAND -- a piss take short horror in black and white. After that came - ALL ABOUT ALAN - in which i starred as Alan. Many random films have been made around those two including one about the bad side of cannabis - I HATE MARY. One i loved making and watching is "Disorder" - That was a highlight of my film-making time. Watching matt pretending to puke was funny, some woman actually drove past us, slowed down and watched, her face became disgraced and she sped off. i wish i filmed it and got it in the film. Mind Path, a strange film that has a second "episode" - not connected to the first. I have many things planned for the future and hopefully i'll get it all done, hope you like the page, cheers now, enjoy.
