First Date

This year has been my first year at university, where I study media performance. One of my modules required us to make a short film, around 5 minutes long, using a set script from a film. Although we had a few problems creating this, we were all extremely proud of it, especially considering this was kinda the first time we had all done a project like this. The concept is a first date, hence the title, where a boy and girl are walking around Salford and then he invites her back to his flat. Then we see the character change. The message really is, you can't really judge a person from the first impression because people are not always what they seem. Hope you enjoy. (p.s it's best to watch it on YouTube on 1080HD).

Riverhead Producers

I currently work with a group called the Riverhead Producers in Louth. We are a collection of young people who work on creating alternative events within the local theatre. We have mainly focused on music gigs, but have recently put on workshops and have even had a sell out comedy night. I have been the longest member so far and I have seen the group go from strength to strength in the short amount of time we have been going. We are currently in the process of organising a one year anniversary gig, combining the past year with what we want for the future. I have been extremely privileged to work with the people that I have, meeting great musicians, good friends and even a minor celebrity. I can't wait to create more events over the next few years and carry on growing.

Miscreation

Currently I am working on a play written by Dan Christmas, a guy who won a scratch night at my local theatre to get this play produced. It is an extremely clever piece mixing serious issues with witty and farcical comedy. I am happy to be working with the director, John Hewer, for the second time because I hugely respect his directorial ability. I am also working with a number of actors for a second time, Natalie Clark, James Burgess, Jamie Harris and Lucy Cooper. The play itself will be challenging for a number of reasons; one, I am playing an Australian (crikey mate!), two, there is not a lot of time (it is on in a just over a month) and three, there is a lot of dialogue and actions to learn (and I mean a LOT). I am very happy to be working on this piece, because I truly feel that this piece will make me a better actor. For those in the Louth area it is on 3rd, 4th and 5th July and tickets are £6.00.
