Writer for Film, Television, Books, Comics and Audio
I’m stunned and delighted to say that my feature screenplay THE WAITING ROOM only went and WON the Best Unproduced Screenplay award at the LA Sci-Fi and Horror Film Festival! I’m over the moon! The next step is to get this thing produced. Any Producer friends out there want to take a look?
More than 40 years since his first (and last) appearance, Bayban the Butcher is back! In case you don’t know, Bayban was a memorable character from the Blake’s 7 episode City at the Edge of the World played with gusto by Colin Baker. A fan favourite, Bayban was presumed dead at the end of the …
