It's about time I posted an update. A lot has been going on. Since the completion of my last short film "Scabs" back in August 2013, I have started work as a media technician at a school in Bath Spa. I was not working on any films, then suddenly when December 2013 hit, I find myself involved in three short film projects, good times.
"Ticketer". This light-hearted romantic comedy follows middle aged traffic warden John, who takes on young cocky apprentice, Kris. At the end of last year I was asked very kindly by Kris Smith, Martin Ballantyne and John Atkins to edit this short film. It's going well, had to employ some clever creative thinking to edit this film together. This is the first time I've worked exclusively as an editor. Previous times have been cutting together dailies I was present for, and for this reason I get a big buzz of creative energy.

"My Brother The Homophobe". A mockumentary written by George Mills, looks at the profile of Darren and his unusual condition, clinical homophobia. The comedy is very tongue in cheek and I wonder in anticipation on how it will be received by audiences, only time will tell. Recently started editing this after production wrapped in December 2013. Once post-production has finished it will be free to view online. Will be posting a release date soon.
"Catalogue Wars". It was never my intention to co-produce a lot of mockumentaries, but I see a pattern forming. It doesn't surprise me, mockumentary is a popular genre for online short films, producing comedic creativity at a low budget. Written by Eddie Brown, this film looks at catalogue retail hooliganism, following a group of violent misfits supporting Argos. Production recently wrapped, and will move into post production next week.
