BLOG – Death Valley, new booking & comedy headshots – MAY 2018
At the beginning of May, I took the weekend off for my birthday and drove up to Death Valley. It's like going to a giant theme park only the "themes" are all natural. There's the Devil's Golf Course, Zabriskie Point, Artists Drive and Badwater Basin but my favourite...
BLOG – Festigious International Film Festival and The Rider – April 2018
Blimey, I wish I could navigate all this social media crap. And when I say "all this", I'm only talking about the notifications on my Facebook profile and my Facebook page. I don't use my Facebook profile any more but have to keep it open to operate my Facebook Page –...
BLOG – NDAS, SCRIPT SIGNING AND GETTING OUT OF TOWN – MARCH 2018
It's not easy to keep posting or to write a blog when every project comes with an NDA (non-disclosure agreement) prohibiting me from talking about what I'm working on. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to name the short I was part of a year ago but in March we had a script...
BLOG – BIRTHRIGHT, FILM INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS’ CLOSE UP – FEBRUARY 2018

POST – 11/8/16 – the documentary with an ending nobody predicted! – 20 October 2017
I love to see a documentary which takes a turn that the directors weren't expecting like Joshua Oppenheimer's, "Act of Killing". And when the 18 directors on, "11/8/16", spent election day with an assortment of Americans around the country, I doubt that any one of...

In September, UK Equity and Spotlight visited their members here in LA and threw us a lovely party in the Hollywood Hills. The television and film markets are merging internationally with the likes of Netflix working towards providing the same content on its...
BLOG – The Great American Eclipse and Court of Appeals – August 2017
Some people in America knew all about The Great American Eclipse and some people knew nothing at all. I was in the first bracket and drove 888 miles to Albany, Oregon to see my first, total, solar eclipse and it was worth every minute of the 30 hours of driving...
BLOG – Green Card, Commercials and Addicts – July 2017
What a month! I was supposed to be having a break in the UK; attending my Uncle and Aunt's 60th wedding anniversary and visiting my friend, Michael, in Malta but my travel documents weren't issued in time and I couldn't leave the US as the adjustment of status...
