Potatoes – a short film I made

A few years ago now I started a project which came from a true story.

The subject domestic violence but this time here a man is abused by his female partner.

Its a difficult subject, and when you watch the film its important to note that some viewers may find some scenes disturbing.

I was lucky enough during my career to meet some amazing people who agreed to join me on the journey of creating the short film below, and I cant thank them enough.

Lousie Osbourne, we met on a shoot, and in in the evening during dinner we discussed the idea. She was more than happy to help out, and later Sean, Louise and I met and he then joined the team.

I decided to shoot this myself as I had a clear view of what I wanted and after many rehearsals we were ready to shoot, I chose my own home as the location and filmed in chronological order.

I think this helped create the right mood and feel for the film.

Sound was handled by the very skilled Paul Withers, and to help on lights my good friend Adam Cliff. I wanted a natural look and used natural light enhanced with the odd LED panel.

We had no script as during rehearsal we improvised from my direction, I created a shot list but no storyboard..

I think it worked and I was nominated for 2 awards at the Birmingham Film festival in 2019.

Please view with an open mind, and if you have been affected by the subject here is a link

About me.

I believe in getting a great performance both in front of and behind the camera.

Over the years I have been fortunate enough to work with presenters and actors. My work includes short drama pieces for the NHS. Interviews and re-enactments of incidents, and near hits for health and safety training in the quarrying industries.

“In-store” staff, not actors were persuaded by me to dance in the aisles, smile, and look happy. This was for an internal communications video about their new uniform!

I have conducted interviews with CEOs, the public, and members of staff from companies large and small.

My work has often taken me around the world. Projects included trips to Japan, the USA, Bermuda, Sweden, Paris, and Brussels, and I am always ready willing, and able to go where the work takes me.

As a creative, well-motivated, and flexible individual I work well under pressure. I am a good motivator of others, both crews, and talent. I can think on my feet, quickly solve problems and I have excellent communications skills.

Above all else though, I care about the end result and my passion and commitment to doing the best I can whatever the circumstances are clear for all to see.
