BRIEFS
(Works in Progress)
Developing ideas is the ultimate joy.
I therefore have many projects on the go, all at differing stages of completion.
LOGLINE: A young boy escapes the school bullies by working on his father’s allotment but when a ruthless developer purchases the land, he joins forces with the animals to save their beloved plot.
My International Screenwriting Competition winning short script, In Vino Veritas, was shot on 8th August, 2017 in Neenton, Shropshire. (A second version was optioned and produced by a crew in Nevada, U.S.A. in June 2017.) Both versions are currently awaiting judging for potential inclusion into a feature film entitled The Impact.
Our version star's Mr. John Challis (Boycie from legendary TV series Only Fools and Horses and The Green Green Grass). How delightful it was, to watch a master of his craft bring life to my own words!
Signing Off, a short horror story, is on the shortlisted tales for Twisted50 Volume 2 and is currently undergoing a redraft before final judging takes place.
All Rise!
All Rise, a short Sci-Fi story, is on the shortlisted tales for The Singularity and is currently undergoing a redraft before final judging takes place.
