About Me

I direct TV commercials, plus the occassional short film and music video. See my latest work here, and refer to the Spoke Films website for more work and at a rather better resolution.

Also I'm an artist in my spare time, a painter. See photo gallery for examples. Prices available on application, gallery interest always welcome. Have been known to do the odd bit of record sleeve design and illustration.

Finally, I'm the writer of two film screenplays, one of which, "Deadwing", is a collaboration with
Steven Wilson of Porcupine Tree . Check out the Deadwing blog above for the first ten pages of it. If you want to see more of it, go to the Deadwing site linked below.
