Get stuck in, get the job done, do something your passionate about and you love

<p>I love film, although i don&rsquo;t go to the cinema that much, I guess for my generation the way we want to consume media, and film being part of that, has changed, I am not a fan of media buzz words so i&rsquo;ll refrain on the next bit.</p> <p>I have a passion for storys, especialy that of the underdog, i come from an underdog background and so when i see a situation, or when someone or a group of people are in trouble, then i have to act, and the media/film is a great way to make social change or highlight a problem,</p> <p>I am also a fan of fun films, not everything is &lsquo;social issue based&rsquo; , the goonies, die hard, star wars, and scarface are films i go back to, ask we on twitter.com/futureartists</p> <p>Graduated in 2006 with first class honors degree from prestigious Brighton University in 2006. Directorial dramatic debut &lsquo;The Cell&rsquo; screened on <span class="caps">BBC</span> 2 in 2003 following on from the success of documentary &lsquo;Teenage Suicide�Why?&rsquo; which was selected as part of the emerging young filmmakers festival (Co-op) in 2002.<br /> Whilst travelling in Asia he was inspired to write and then direct &lsquo;Your State of Emergency&rsquo;, which featured at the 61st Festival de Cannes in 2008 causing him to be praised as a �Voice of a Generation� by the Guardian Media group and to be noted as a director of great promise. The film was released on-line and has been watched by over a million people. He has started to fulfill his potential and meet early acclaim with his most recent film &lsquo;Broken Britain&rsquo; (2009), funded in part by North West Vision and media. This has received acclaim from not only the Mail media group but also from <span class="caps">BBC</span> who have tipped him as one to watch &lsquo;following in his (Danny Boyle&rsquo;s) footsteps&rsquo;. The film was selected by North West Vision and media to represent the North West to a world wide audience at the 62nd Festival de Cannes.</p> <p>Now making 'the Lost Generation' 2012</p>
