I'm a filmmaker and visual effects artist living in Cardiff. I began my career in computer games working at Bullfrog Productions before studying filmmaking at Newport University. Since then, I've held the post of Head of Visual Effects at Dinamo Productions and made a number of short films that have been seen in festivals around the world. I am now the owner and director of Red Wire Media and have a number of feature projects in development.

Grandpa Awards
Thursday, 26 November 2009 10:05

Grandpa in my Pocket has been nominated for a BAFTA Children's Award so I've been invited to the ceremony this Sunday to represent Dinamo at the Ad Astra table. It's also been nominated for a Kidscreen Award (against Sesame Street!) so the accolades are starting to flood in! Here's hoping we walk away with the statuette.

It's my last official week at Dinamo but I don't think it'll be last time I step through their doors. There are too many interesting projects going on! I'm looking forward to having a bit of a rest between now and Christmas, although I'll still be working on a couple of projects, not least a short film script I put in for the Digital Shorts scheme. Should I get through, I'll be making that around Easter next year. There are lots of other things on the horizon but nothing that I can talk openly about.

2012 was fun but overlong. Twilight: New Moon was dull and overlong. Avatar is clocking in at two and a half hours so hopefully it won't be third time unlucky! Never bet against James Cameron, though. I'll be seeing the film in the Cineworld and not the fake IMAX screen which is heading to Cardiff. It won't be a full IMAX cinema, just a reworked and rebranded existing screen at the Odeon. Sorely disappointed at that and it's frustrating when you consider that Bristol had a full IMAX up until a few years ago and it's never reopened.
