Scriptwriting
LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION! Scriptwriting isn't merely a passion of mine; it's the life force that kindled my profound love for the art of storytelling. It's an enchanting realm where creativity knows no bounds, a place where ideas transcend the limits of imagination and spring to life on the page. Within this captivating world, I proudly present a showcase of my feature-length stories and the impressive journey of my short stories, many of which have successfully evolved beyond their initial drafts. Indeed, a few have even garnered well-deserved recognition in prestigious competitions. Woohoo!

A Comfortable Grave
Written and shot in 2017, this short horror film can be viewed on my Video portfolio page. The idea struck me when I realised that not all short films have to be five, ten or even twenty minutes long. Why can’t I just create a micro short. One that’s only two minutes long?
Return to the Frontline
A group of pensioners that have to hold up in their care home and fight hordes of the undead. This was the first script I wrote. Back in 2010, I understood that I really loved telling stories. When I was younger, I’d always enjoyed writing stories. On holiday, on a plane, at home, in school etc. It was complete escapism for me. This idea came to me from a simple joke about how slow zombies were and how easy it would be to run away from them. That was when I decided to turn the entire thing into a feature length movie. Probably one that I might need to return and take a look at its structure.
