After being told at that I'm not 'creative', I'm proud to say I now write & direct branded content, and have done it for the likes of Facebook, Rude Health and Simba (The mattress company, not Mufasa's son)

And that's enough about me.

- Netflix "Too Hot To Handle" Urgent Weather ReportToo Hot To Handle - a show which deducts money from contestants for any form of sexual contact. So, to celebrate their new season, I wrote and directed this film campaign, which was all about trying to squeeze as many innuendoes into a weather report as I possibly could. Apparently I was the "pefect" person for the job. Still not quite sure what that says about me...
