About Me

 
Film writer/director and Father of 8 month old Leia. I  have a diploma in screenwriting and is currently attending BA Film Production at AUC Bournemouth, UK, where he specializes in Directing.
Film has for many years been an hobby and a passion but now I am aiming to make it my
livelyhood. In the days I have made about 9 shortfilms if I don't count the ones made at uni.
So why did I decide so late in life (I am 33) to study film at university, I am a dyslectic something that always keept me down as a kid, and in my teens my revolt against myself and the world put me into trouble and made me not finsih school, I then spent 9 years of my life rebuilding it and working as a personal care assistant to a man in a wheelchair at the same time studying screenwritting and making my own short films.
I have now come to grips with my dyslexia and are getting great grades at University, go figure
