Producer
A £15 million feature film of the Mozart’s Opera, set in the First World War, and made on sound stages at Shepperton Studios. I took part in the development and planning which began a year before shooting as first the music had to be recorded and mixed, before which there was an extensive casting, audition, and rehearsal process in addition to the usual logistical exercise. During shooting I shared Line Producer duties with Steve Clark Hall, concentrating on scheduling and supervising second unit, and then supervised Post Production, including over £1 million of VFX work.
The Film was selected for a Gala presentation at The Fenice, Veince Film Festival, and Opened the Toronto Film Festival.

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.
