Here’s Emily’s Dance which I wrote, produced, directed and lit a few years back

In the evening I joked about how I had spent all day working in the gym.but I wasn’t keeping fit, but filming. We had to use minimum gear so that’s when you inevitably find that what you left behind is what you needed.

For four years I think it was, I ran the Bournemouth Screen Academy Summmer Schools.

These were regarded as the “flagships” of the Bournemouth Screen Academy. We made 40 films and had over a 100 youngsters through the programme.

This is a short documentary with behind the scenes filming showing the Bournemouth Screen Academy Summer School in 2006.

We had 30 youngsters and made 6 films in the two weeks.

Here’s one of the films.

“Money” with Steve Giles and Chris Johnson …who are Richmond Soul.

We were going to edit this, but I liked the performance so much that I persuaded them to leave it as one take.  It would have been a problem to cut in the other takes anyway, as each one was different.
