My Work and Credits:

Grime City P.D. (2010)

About: This film followed on from a short I wrote with Andrew Endersby called Rocket Science!, set in the same world with the same characters. It was always intended as a pilot - the premise being a town stuck (metaphorically) in the past, visited by aspects of the present.
