Death & Mrs Brady

This was my graduation film, shot on 16mm film and earned me my first class. I wrote and directed it, with Ellie Land producing, Emma Dalesman as DoP and Mike Pentney editing.

I knew that once I had graduated, it wouldn’t be quite so easy to experiment, so I wrote a script that contained all of the cool stuff I’d seen in making-of documentaries - stunt work, fight sequences, make-up, visual effects, costume design and set-building.

It was fantastic fun, and a real baptism by fire for an inexperienced director!

The Dud Samaritan

My first short film and directorial debut, shot on 16mm in my second year at University. Michael Pentney was DoP and Emma Dalesman was Camera Operator.

We actually shot the film twice due to a processing blunder that destroyed about 90% of the rushes. Fantastic performances by Adrian Hopper (Dennis) and Colin Cuthbert (Dwayne) hold it together despite the flimsy story line!
