Waterbaby premiered at the BFI London Film Festival on Weds 26th Oct, 2011. It played as part of the ‘Do The Right Thing’ programme. This was the second year running to have a film at LFF, after Remnants premiered there last year – it was great to be back again with a new and very different film. A short review of Waterbaby can be found here.

My NFTS graduation film For Megan will screen at the Encounters International Film Festival in an event called ‘The Programmer’s Fear of Missing the Masterpiece’ where I have been invited to discuss my experiences of filmmaking and festivals with programmer Mark Cosgrove.

After two years on the international festival circuit and a BAFTA Scotland Award later, The Flyer continues its life through a recent distribution deal with Shorts International. Read a festival review of the film here.

I graduated from the National Film & Television School with an MA in Directing Fiction in February 2011. My graduation film, For Megan, was screened at the British Film Institute to an audience of over 300 as part of the NFTS graduation show.
