Charlie
I’ve been directing a little one person piece these last few weeks, starring the lovely Victoria Chen. Charlie explores the meeting between an audience member (that’s you lucky people) and a young girl who has never left the building. With no concept of the outside world, you have to help her understand and process the reality of the world around her. …
Opening Night: Earthquakes
Yep it’s an opening night selfie from onstage. There’s an audience sitting just out of shot. We are supposed to do it, honest!

As a film actor, you hardly ever see your takes. …

You can see a picture above. Obviously it’s raining, hence the particularly attractive bright pink umbrella. You have not been a proper actor until you have had to squelch through mud, …
True Value
Filmed with Director Alix Austin for the first time today. Alix was in the year above me at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland and is a very talented screen director. It was wonderful to work with someone so passionate about their projects. Sharp and on point, the film looks very slick and I’m delighted to have been a part of …
