Alongside writing my own work for stage and screen, I work with writers as a Dramaturg to make their work the best it can be.
WRITING PROJECTS
HAGMAN-HA
While staying in an isolated cottage in the Yorkshire Moors over New Year, three friends find a note containing instructions on how to keep out a mysterious intruder. This 60-minute fantasy horror play co-written with Taiyo Yoshida explores what it means to accept the power grief holds over you.
ANALOGUE
My first short film which I co-wrote with Erik Anderson Scott for the Straight 8 Film Festival. Shot on Super 8, the film explores the idea that the protagonist lives in a world where your lifespan is attached to the film format on which it is capture. A Super 8 cartridge only runs for 3 minutes 20 seconds and Analogue has to decide what to do with the time they have left.
BLACK MOULD
I’m currently writing a short film which uses the Lovecraft Mythos to explore the current crisis in the house rental market.
