PELICAN is now online! Link in bio forever more. 🚦 This film started as silly idea based on a very specific annoyance (and obsession) I have had, and it has been a pleasure to watch it play around the country to some very lovely and appreciative audiences. And of course, always a pleasure to make a film with a cast and crew that are so talented and a joy to be around. Starring: @nicolabrome @_.johnny_smyth._ Crew: Writer/Director/Producer: It was me. DP: @lukecollins_dp 1st AC: @alexrawsonfocuspuller Gaffer: @jrsecondac Sound op: @eddiettt123 Lead MUA: @suziegee.mua Sound mix & design: @eddiettt123 Colourist: @lukecollins_dp Kit: @theunitbag (If you saw this post moments ago where I spelled the name of my own fucking film wrong in the thumbnail, please forget about it)

Well would you look at that, after far too long due to lots of silly reasons my short PELICAN is complete! Here’s some screen grabs and my favourite blooper. I’ll be throwing it at some festivals and then putting it online at a very fitting, completely undisclosed and likely random time. 💀🚦 Starring: @nicolabrome @_.johnny_smyth._ Crew: Writer/Director/Producer: ya boy 💀 DP: @lukecollins_dp 1st AC: @alexrawsonfocuspuller Gaffer: @jrsecondac Sound op: @eddiettt123 Lead MUA: @suziegee.mua Sound mix & design: @eddiettt123 Colourist: @lukecollins_dp Kit: @theunitbag

Well well well, would you look at that. BFI Creative Producer Lab 2021. Shout out to BFI for accepting me on to this when my application was an angry rant of “I can’t find any working class Midlands based producers who wanna make horror movies so I will do it.” Already a couple weeks in with a great gang, looking forward to the rest. See also attached nice new photo of me you can put in your diaries or on your wall with love hearts on it n that. Treat yourself.

It’s a year today since my last short The Siren’s Song was broadcast on BBC4. Had big plans of directing more shorts throughout this year, but the ‘rona had other ideas. Was so good finally getting back to it this weekend with some wonderful talented people shooting my new short “Pelican”🚦 Will be sharing it when I can, for now here’s some lovely BTS pics taken by the lovely @alessandrorepetti_director . . . #film #filmmaking #director #writer #filmdirector #indie #indiefilm #newcreatives #behindthescenes #BTS #FilmBTS #cinema #setlife #movie #video #videoproduction #cinema #movies #actor #green #pelican
