Additional information:
After completing an HND in Media Production with business studies I worked in post-production for four different companies: TWI, TVP, Postbox and Locomotion. I worked my way up to off-line editor and head of MCR at Locomotion. While working at these four companies I started to make my own independent documentaries.
Modern English, a film about the Mod subculture, was the first of these projects. It screened at the Raindance film festival in London 2001. It was part of a national tour that Raindance organised. The BFI hold a copy in their archive as part of the National Collection.
The East End came next, shot on Super 8. It is a black and white observational film about the east end of London and was screened at Raindance 2002 and Raindance East 2003. The film supported a screening of Dark Water by Hideo Nakata at Raindance East. I was asked by Raindance to help produce the festival trailer for the Raindance East festival that year.
In 2004 I completed 24 Hours in London. This film was an experiment in filming for 24 hours constantly in and around London. Shot using a crew of 2, the film was shown at Raindance and Prends Ca Court in Canada. Again, the BFI hold a copy in their archive as part of the National Collection.
Raindance gave me some promotion for the project in their magazine Reel Scene. Chris Shiflett of the Foo Fighters gave me permission to use some of his own band Jackson's music within the documentary.
In 2005 I began to shoot a documentary about electronic dance music entitled Decks, Dance and Videotape. This ended up being a very long running project. I shot the last interview for it this year. An 18-minute version of this film was shown at the Portobello Film Festival in 2014. Two of the more well known interviewees for this film were Peter Hook of Joy Division and New Order along with Andy Barker of 808 State.
In 2008, after leaving my position of ten years at Locomotion, I started on what would become my largest documentary project: docoBANKSY. This hour-long film that looks into the world of Banksy was first publicly seen at the Portobello film festival in 2012. A five-minute promo version was screened at the Cambridge and Rushes shorts film festivals in summer 2009. Most of the interviewees for docoBANKSY have had some close experience with Banksy or his work. Interviewees include Simon Hattenstone of The Guardian and Kate Brindley, then the director of Bristol City Museum. Time Out gave the 5-minute version a positive review, and Metro newspaper in London described docoBANKSY as that year's hottest free ticket! docoBANKSY was featured in Marc Leverton's book Banksy Myths and Legends. I have two distribution deals in place for the film, one with an American company and another with a UK-based one. Here is the website that the American distribution company built for the film: www.docobanksy.com.
In 2009 I went on the whole of Gimpo's M25 Spin, a mixture of endurance art project and protection ritual undertaken by the KLF's ex-driver. I shot around 6 hours of footage. After this I interviewed Gimpo and decided to start making a documentary about Gimpo and this curious art project he began in 1997.
The 26-minute version of The End Point of a Circle was screened at the Portobello film festival in 2013. Bill Drummond and Iain Sinclair have been interviewed for this film. Gimpo is interviewed each year after the Spin has taken place. This feature-length project will be completed around the time of Gimpo finishing the M25 Spin in 2021.
In April of this year the artist Stewy ask me to make a short documentary for him. This film was shown as part of an event that took place at the People's Museum in Manchester. I screened the film at Bluescreen, a short film night held at The Cube in Bristol. The documentary was also shown at the Portobello Film Festival and nominated for an award in the art and animation category.
This year I have started an English cycling documentary; so far, I have shot 7 interviews. The last interviewee was Sean Yates. He won a time trial stage of the Tour de France in 1988. Currently he is a sport director for the World Tour team Tinkoff Saxo. Yanto Barker was the first interviewee; he rides for One Pro cycling. Colin Sturgess, who was world professional pursuit champion in 1989, and John Pierce, who has photographed the Tour de France for many years, have also been spoken to. Over the coming months, my film-making partner Rob Wickings and I are going to produce an edit of these first 7 interviews.
