About me

Born in Derby, England. I am an aspiring scriptwriter, short story writer, Television Presenter and Producer.

I also write film articles and critical pieces for an online magazine called AND CREAM (www.andcream.com).

I co-author my screenplays with Matthew Waldram. In 2007 we wrote two feature scripts, a Dark Fantasy / Western entitled RAVENS' BOWER and a Superneatural Comedy entitled MONSTERS' DINER.

Both projects are currently being read by several Film Studios.

We are now writing a low-budget Horror Movie entitled DALLIUS THE DEVIL.

I am also developing a Television series entitled DARK CORNERS, which has been conceived almost as a factual TWILIGHT ZONE, where leading writers and filmmakers of the macabre talk about the field in which they work.

All in all 2008 is looking to be a pretty hectic, creative, and hopefully, fruitful year!

Thanks for the reply Andrew, and good luck with your adventure.

Shame about the lost opportunity of a meet and chat, and what could have transpired.

See you in the big time, if I don't get there before you :)

I guess I will have to try my hand at this scriptwriting to grab a piece of the action at Next Years Cannes, and write my own music to match my film ideas and start on some embryo scripts ideas inspired by the song compositions and story.

Nothing lost, nothing gained so it could double my chances as scriptwriter and composer, so to speak because for every business opportunity that comes my way, I always go the extra mile for people who take an interest in my talent and unknown potential.

See you in Cannes 2009

Hi Andrew , I have sent two emails, and the site is telling me they have not even been opened or read. Maybe people here are nor interested in Fiim type opportunities as I am unfamiliar with this site. Seems dead to me here.

I assume you are on holiday or something as it doesn't make sense as an up an coming scriptwriter to turn away opportunities, so can only make up excuses for a short time before I move on.

I have tried other ways of contacting you, even through our local paper , and nothing, and I do not know if ever we can have this urgent chat, as time is running out.

Guess I will have to find the time to learn how to script write as well as compose :) . I have two potential hit films here and no-one enterprising enough to approach me on this site at all. Anyone out there ? Have you got the hunger for success ? Nothing lees than that will do for me or match my appetite.

If I don' t get a reply off this site from anyone with talent, then will broaden my search, so thanks in advance if I am proven wrong and there are interested writers here.

Sorry about this frustration of mine, but to me this business is serious stuff not something that I can allow to mess my mind in bewlderment. Finding suitable vocalists and musicians has also been my worst experience so far by people with no vision or desire for working towards that success vision. I despair

Hi Andrew, I sent you an email invitation regarding an opportunity of two projects, which could pick up Business in Cannes. I have received no reply. Not sure if you have not had chance to read your email. Am looking for local scriptwriters with positive aspirations, and hope I hear from you during Saturday before looking elsewhere. Time is of the essence with these opportunities and I believe success is assured in both projects.

Sorry about this message method, which might get your attention quicker than the email route.

If not interested, a reply would be nice please
