Biography

UK based screenwriter focused on feature scripts in the horror, thriller, sci-fi and urban drama genres.

My writing channels Ken Loach and Shane Meadows, spliced and diced with Tarantino, Kubrick and 70s Spielberg. I write muscular, taut psychological horror thrillers; working class explorations of masculine toxicity loaded with savage absurdity, filtered through a scuzzy socialist lens. My heroes are vulnerable, downtrodden, anxious and nervy, struggling to keep their nostrils above the waterline, but still clinging to seemingly unattainable redemptions.

Nine time international screenplay competition winner for horror screenplays Red Mist (currently under option), Murderabilia, Rat, and urban crime thriller Headshot.

Visiting Lecturer in Screenwriting at the University of Leeds, Screenwriting Mentor at the London Horror Society and the Oakwood Film Academy. Screenwriter for hire for consultancy, redrafts, co-writing, polishes, notes and production preparation.
