Short Film following a London Commuter as he struggles with Exhibitionism.
A 60 page Comedy -Drama film I wote for my dissertation in 2013 about a rock star, Mick Munro who goes back to Ballynahinch, the Northern Irish town he grew up in following a volatile conflict with his bandmates. Whilst there he forms a tumultuous yet intimate friendship with Gary Howland, the old musician who inspired Mick to get into music as a child and guitarist of eighties rock band Cavalier. Once a local legend Gary is now a decrepit old man who has exiled himself to his old family home on the hill just outside town, spending his days digging up the surrounding fields, obsessively searching for something from his past. For Mick and Gary, the past and present intertwine as Mick revisits the people he left behind for fame, his estranged sister and best friends, all affected in some way by his departure. With the paparazzi on his heels and a career boosting album in the pipelines Mick must face the demons accompanying fame and its pressures whilst discovering the harrowing truth about his childhood hero. Hiatus received a first for my sixty page Dissertation. I am currently aiming to expand the 60 page Script into either...

Short play performed at the UEA Drama society short play festival 2014. Vincent, a struggling British Writer is pitching his new screenplay to two Hollywood executives when ex-writing partner Alice appears strapped with dynamite, demanding credit for Vincent's one shot at success. Now the four must broker a deal that suits all of them before the contract "goes up in flames". Absurd short comedy play.
First of five - Miniseries about a struggling rock band and their entanglement in a mysterious Government experiment targeting a music festival.
Short play from Minotaur Shorts Festival 2012 - currently a film project. The bartender from the titular bar jokes kidnaps the subjects of his jokes after growing sick and tired of the same puns. Black comedy screen adaptation
