Stuck in a limbo and desperate to do something meaningful, what to do? That is where writing began for me. A creative way of expressing myself and a chance to harness my wondering imagination.

‘It’s been busy and quiet’… my update as to pre-production notes for the film. I’ve managed to visit South Wales with a camera and spent a morning filming walls! Why? so it can be put on a green screen and it can be used as a backdrop to the stage when filming – so we […]
I have been out on the road doing some preliminary location shoots for my Masters dissertation, ‘Senghenydd’. Now, I am back and have analysed the results. I am hoping that most of this footage can be edited in some way or form into the final video. Being in South Wales on a visit, I had […]
My latest vlog… The subject of today’s vlog is location. Defining the project that I am working on to produce the film ‘Senghenydd’, I am vlogging my experience to act as feedback and a reminder when I come to write my dissertation of the different steps and experiences therein. The script was fairly straightforward to […]
