hard to see this project through to fruition and continue to do so. I

British Short
Screenplay Competition
Last year I entered the above competition and was delighted to make it
through to
the quarter finals. The list of finalists is available at
www.kaosfilms.com
TV SERIES
- 1hr Pilot and 5x 45 minute episodes.
I have recently finished writing a six episode television series, which
is written in the
horror genre. The
storyline is extremely dark and is intended to be very provocative
and
gruesome. It seems this one was/is too strong for television, so I'm in
the process
of turning the series into a trilogy of features. It's going to take a
while, but should prove
workable when I'm done.
Watch this space for
more news as and when there is any to report.
The London Film
Academy
A two minute script called Fix has been accepted by the LFA for
use by their students
in their two minute film workshops. Needless to
say I am very pleased to have my work
being used in such a creative way
:-)

Other news...
Some time ago I was featured in a local
newspaper article, if you would
like to take a look at this article, click here
Craig MacLachlan has written the screenplay adaptation of
'Diary of a Curtain Twitcher' and (having spent many months developing
the script
with Sara Dee) we held a script reading at The Poetry Cafe (22
Betterton St
London) on September 4th 2003. The event drew interest from several
people within
the UK film industry and while I'm still pushing this
project towards production, we
have a very long way to go. I'll keep
you posted.
