PRODUCER - FEB 2003 TO 2005

I began working with Kenneth Branagh in February 2003. I had helped raise finance for his short film Listening and he was keen to get back to directing again.  There were a few projects in development which did not come to anything, but by the summer of 2004 we were working on the early stages of a film of The Magic Flute and had began serious discussions with HBO about As You Like It. We prepared both films in parallel, I was involved in all aspects, location scouting, casting, scheduling & budgeting, and where appropriate making videos of any of these. 

Later on Post Production on As You Like It became quite drawn out and we had a mad month in September 2006 when Ken was simultaneously editing As You, recording the music for the Magic Flute and Directing the play Ducktastic.

I have recently completed a short film, CARDS ON THE TABLE, which I directed and which was shortlisted for the Kodak short film competition.

I have co-written a screenplay for a road movie set in the seventies, FAR OUT AND GROOVY.
