About me
Hello! I'm a scriptwriter with 25 years' experience. Now, starting out as a director with my first feature film Markham, due for release in 2020. Markham is a low budget, indie, rubber reality horror movie. It was shot in Staithes, Leeds and Whitby. As a script writer I've been Royal Television Society nominated and BAFTA shortlisted. Credits include EastEnders/Emmerdale/Hollyoaks/Family Affairs and a few feature films.
