Stella, Tiny, St. Trinnean’s & World War II

This week has been a great fact finding week for the Stella and Tiny documentary. I received another letter from Scotland. A gentleman had read my letter in the paper and knew Stella and Tiny quite well, particularly during the late sixties and early seventies and, amazingly enough, he is actually in one of the…

Stella and Tiny RIP

Today I arrived at the office and there was a letter waiting for me. Nothing unusual there you may think, but this was an actual letter; written by hand, by a real person. It’s been quite a while since I have received a handwritten letter. The stamp on the envelope was Scottish, which immediately made me…

My New Sting

I have to say I’m very happy with my new sting. My mate magic Marc Heatley made it, http://marcheatleydesign.com/ He is also responsible for my website and business cards. I highly recommend him. [jwplayer config=”Blog Player” mediaid=”1441″]

Stella and Tiny new leads

Today has been an interesting day, I found two little bits of evidence tucked away amongst some papers that should help shine some light on who these filmmakers are.

Manumission The Show

A few months ago I finished cutting a promotional video for Manumission The Show. I have to say I’ve had worse jobs in my life. The show is a raunchy hedonistic night of clubbing fun and if you get the chance to see “The Show” then you should go. I hope you like the edit.

The Wales Green List 2009

Back in May of this year I was commissioned by Cynnal Cymru to make a film about Sustainability in Wales. I was to accompany Photographer Daniel Green on a journey around Wales. Dan was going to photograph 20 people/groups who were on the Cynnal Cymru Green list. My task was to capture what they had to…

The Persians

I felt quite privileged the day I was allowed to film at Cilieni Village, a replica North German Village at Sennybridge in the Brecon Beacons military range. I had very little idea of what to expect that morning, Mike Devaney who is the technical director for the National Theatre of Wales picked me up and we…
