About me
Having had several screenplays optioned, sitcoms commissioned by Gareth Edwards (Spaced, Goodness Gracious Me) and Steve Doherty (Have I Got News For You) and worked for hire for CBBC, Channel 5 and Nickelodeon, in 2012, my movie Naachle London was released in select cinemas across the UK - CLICK HERE - to watch the trailer.
2013-2015 was spent travelling to LA for pitching events, conferences and meetings which was the experience of a lifetime, and more importantly, made me a better writer. After getting mentored by Circle of Confusion and Lionsgate Films, I was advised to stop writing big budget Hollywood screenplays and create something personal that audiences could connect with emotionally.
Two British screenplays are now available:
Belfast Son – drama set in Northern Ireland
A distant father and his gay son are forced together when the mother dies and they have to drive from their home to spread her ashes at sea.
Till Death Do Us Part – female-driven horror screenplay set in England
An English man plans to marry an Indian woman against her family’s wishes – so the family arrange for Indian demons to break them apart, no matter what the cost.
Feel free to contact me should you wish to read any of these projects.

Review from Francis Ford Coppola’s website. www.zoetrope.com (the review has been edited to hide the secrets and key plot points)
"This was a very enjoyable read and had some great twists and turns. The flash back right at the beginning, sometime over used, is perfect for this script. I really enjoyed the action pact ending. The huge twist at the end is great. It is a perfect ending.
This screenplay displays a fertile imagination at the helm. The world it creates is dense and layered in the science-fiction sense, especially in the underground lab and all of the officials and military types that run the place This was one of the best screenplay endings I've ever read. Very, very good choice. And possible set-up for a sequel."
