Holes In The Heart©

This is a about love, bereavement and letting go. George can’t forget his girlfriend, and then one day she appears at the end of his bed. Is she a spirit or is the medicines making him hallucinate?

Inspired by an interview I saw with Sir Ian McKellan, he discussed monologues when he filmed Richard 3rd in the 1970’s. I am currently planning on making this short movie.

Mr.Smith is near retirement and runs an old shop with his old dog. He grumbles his way through the day and by night dances in ball rooms with beautiful ladies! Economic pressure means he might have to close his shop and meanwhile things are getting difficult with the wife as she knows about his affair. Midlife crisis at 65 wasn’t in his plans. Written as a television pilot, it follows Mr.Smith and many other wild characters.

A Kiss Means More©.

This is a modern love story, its dark, amusing and romantic. It features a couple who are very opposite and they are going in different directions. However they have a strange connection, Sammy is a crazy sexy girl and James just loves the attention Sammy brings him.

The story was inspired by true events that happened in the year 2000. Written in the taxi on the way home on a small piece paper, the story was recorded! It was entered into a national competition in the year 2000 for Channel 4(England) and I came real close to it being made. Since then A Kiss means more has had new lease of life and has been picked up by Sprocket Films.  Director and producer is already attached, we are just searching for more investment so the shooting can commence.
