ON THE ROAD

I'm currently on the road! In August I was a guest at CreepyCon in Knoxville! What a hoot! From there i went to NYC to promote my fav comedy festival show Deacon -LIVE. I'm now over in UK promoting the show for comedy festivals in 2024. While I'm here I have to finish a draft of our film GOTH 2 AFLAME. The writing never ends and is mostly unpaid, but im super excited to see it explode into life.

THE OFFICE- AUSTRALIA

In June/July this year Bunya Productions made the 3rd English speaking version of The Office. Did you know there are 13 versions internationally? 10 are non English speaking! You can googling them. Had a lot of fun playing a kiwi living in Australia. That's all I can say until it is released in April 2024 in UK and Australia

GOTH 2 AFLAME

Heimlich Manoeuvre Ltd and I are currently developing our feature film GOTH 2 AFLAME.

'What does an ageing goth bassist performance artist do when he realises he is no longer relevant?'

What this space!

CLOWN OF THORNZ

I love to approach new concepts from numerous angles. In this case I'm enjoying the comedy club circuit developing a stand up goth character CLOWN OF THORNZ. A performance artist beat poet bassist. It all feeds into the film concept!

PROOF, A SHORT FILM

I'm excited to announce my film proof will premiere at SHOW ME SHORTS In New Zealand on October 6th, 2023.

For those of you involved with the Seed'n'Spark fund - thank you! it's a long wait for the festivals to choose it, only after we are selected for premieres can we release it to you for a Funders Screening.

Stand by for dates on that.
