More about me

I am a voting member of BAFTA, a member and former Chair of The Writers' Guild of Great Britain and a former Vice President of the European Writers' Council in Brussels. I have now set up my own miniscule production company - SMALL CHANGE FILMS - to produce my own work. The first fruit of this, a comedy short called THE POSTIE, is currently in post production (as of mid March 2011).
