About / Bio

I trained as an actor at The Drama Centre London. My first screenplay, ‘Small Inclusions’ (Dir. Herbie Wise) was optioned by Kudos Film and TV who commissioned me to write ‘Terezin’. I have been commissioned by The BBC, Midwest Media and Channel Four/Kismet Films. I have had fantastic actors, producers and directors attached to my films, but so far nothing has been made. I have several films in development and am currently working on a short film, ‘Blueberry Hill’, and a psychological thriller for TV, ‘The Stand In’.

I am currently without an agent – long story – but have been represented by the best.  I have only recently re-joined WGGB so this is brief. I’ll update asap.
