FRIGHTFEST 2016

I had a great time at the FrightFest film festival last week, where The Windmill Massacre, conceived and directed by Nick Jongerius and produced by Daniel Koefoed, had it’s International premier. The film is set in Nick’s native Holland and received lots of attention and excellent reviews. I enjoyed myself very much, especially at the Q&A sessions.

MUSIC VIDEOS

I have selected some of the music videos I have done over the years and put them in age order.  I can watch myself growing up to music! The first one is by Thee Uncomfortables and is called Levi’s Genes.  This was a great day and filmed about 7 years ago. We got to have a real food fight. I was Kurt Cobain. The next video was by Mujde and called ‘Distorted Pictures’.  This was much more serious about domestic abuse, although I would say that the violent bits were edited and I was not aware of what was happening...

SHORT FILM – REMINISCENCE

My school friend, Tom Carty and I have collaborated on a new short film.  We are very pleased with the result.  The film is complete.  However, the music we want to finish the film is quite  expensive, well expensive for us. Therefore, I have started a kickstarter campaign to help towards the costs of the copyright and the fees involved for placing the film in as many film festivals as possible. It would be great if you could help and there are some rewards available.  Check out the kickstarter link below https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1004793849/reminiscence-0

Another chance to listen to the beautiful story Archie Dobson’s War.  It is the story of an ordinary family and what happens when the family have to cope with the events of World War I.   Written by Rob John, this BBC Radio adaptation was produced for schools but it really could hold a prime time spot on BBC Radio 4.  Have a listen, you won’t be disappointed.
