Story / structure work with Director Rupert Miles is going very well, and we will have a solid outline / treatment of our Vietnam based human trafficking thriller, 'Girl on a Motorcycle', to send out for selected feedback by Christmas.
Taking the story slightly away from the actually 1997 events, the film now focuses on the search for a young Amerasian woman, the history and politics of this group of people, and the ongoing after effects of the 1965-1975 War on those involved and left behind.

Pixillion Digital and other work.
JULY 2012 - Developed, wrote and co-directed two 3 minute Internet Commercials for Pixillion Digital in Bristol. Both ads were for Bath-based company 'On Direct' one for their 'Cloud Direct' site, the other for their Backup Direct site.
The ads featured Bristol actor Jason Bailey as 'The Man in a White Suit' (think Morgan Freeman in Bruce Almighty) - the God / Willy Wonka-like controller living and working inside the totally white and heavenly world of the On Direct 'Cloud'.
MAY to JUNE 2012 - Continued to work closely with Director Rupert Miles on the Vietnam based feature script 'Girl on a Motorcycle'. As of writing this, the board is now almost down to 40 or so index cards - and is being written into Final Draft. Treatments for the other projects on the slate are on hold. The plan is to complete a good first draft of GOAM by Christmas.
MAY 2012 - Hired by Aardman Commercials to add 2D animation effects to another 'Change for Life' commercial. This one had an Olympic theme.
APRIL 2012 - Visited Hereford College of Art to deliver a Story / Scriptwriting Lecture to Illustration BA Students - and to workshop their short film idea. A fun day as always.
MARCH 2012 - Started serious and concentrated work on the 'Girl on a Motorcycle' feature script with Director friend Rupert Miles. Before this the two of us collected all our ideas together, and compiled a slate of 10 Film and TV drama ideas.
We should have done this years ago! Lots of fun and very exciting.
JAN 2012 - Wrote a 2 minute internet commercial script for Pixillion Digital. This was my first project for their Bath- based client 'On Direct'. The film promotes the company's Cloud Services and features on the main On Direct site.
JAN 2012 - Hired by Aardman Commercials to add 2D animation effects to a new 'Change for Life' commercial. This one had an alcohol consumption theme.
DEC 2011 to JAN 2012 - Returned to the University of Gloucestershire in Cheltenham (my 4th year!) to deliver Story / Scriptwriting Lectures, and set 2 short film-making modules, to 1st and 2nd year Graphic Design BA Students.
