Hi, I'm a writer and director across live-action and animation, but you won't pin me down to just one genre. If it's a good story, whatever the format, whatever the genre, I'm into it. In 2026, Tim Clague & I wrote, produced and directed the award-winning play Baby Brain starring Kimberley Nixon, about a new mum struggling with postpartum psychosis (and it's a comedy!). It enjoyed a UK tour in 2026, culminating in an award-winning spell at Edinburgh Fringe (Assembly).

 

In film, my writing/directing debut (again with my regular collaborator Tim Clague) was the live-action family film Who Killed Nelson Nutmeg? It had its world premiere at the London Film Festival in October 2015. Our second live-action family film was the sci-fi adventure, Future TX, released in UK & US cinemas in 2022/23. Previously, I directed a number of shorts, most notably my supernatural thriller Origin which won Best Horror Short at the London Independent Film Festival in 2012. I've written for the TV dramas Eastenders, Doctors, and Sofia's Diary, and been hired to write/rewrite or consult on several independent feature films.

 

For most of the noughties, I was an industry script reader (Miramax, Working Title, UK Film Council, Pathe, to name but a few) and I've developed a passionate insight into the scriptwriting process. As a result, I work as a freelance script consultant, and am regularly invited to schools, workshops and universities as a guest speaker. In 2007, I helped set up the Red Planet Prize, which champions new writing talent, and I am often involved in mentoring and various new talent schemes.
