Just to prove that I’m not a totally miserable bastard, here’s a short film about zombies which is, in my ever so humble opinion, totally fucking awesome. This is a director to keep an eye on.

I Love Sarah-Jane
God-Emperor of City 17
I’ve been holding back from writing this post for a couple of weeks.
If you pick through the fetid archives of this blog, you’ll find circumstantial evidence that I am a big fan of the Half-Life series of games produced by Valve Software. Recently a short film got released onto the intertubes called “Escape From City [...]
Leap of faith
I’ve just accepted a new contract in London and am now shitting myself about whether it’s the right decision or not.
Gone Fishing Seminar: Film Festivals
On Friday morning I signed up for the online version of the Gone Fishing seminar. An hour or so later, I got an email from Chris Jones asking if I was coming to the follow up seminar at Ealing Studios the next day. I declined at first because Saturday already involved other plans but a [...]
I’m confused – who owns my data?
Just a quick one.
The recent furore regarding Facebook’s ever changing TOS and whether or not they own data you upload to that site coupled with shocked outcry about the story regarding last.fm’s alleged handing over of user listening data to RIAA has got me thinking. All this happened in the same week as much publicised [...]
The Future (Onwards and Upwards)
An extremely exhausting, unexpectedly film related weekend.
After going to the IMAX to see a midnight screening of Blade Runner and subsequenly getting about four hours sleep, I spent Saturday at Ealing Studios attending the second Gone Fishing Masterclass seminar given by Chris Jones (author of “Guerilla Filmmaker’s Handbook”). Chris was the writer, director and creative [...]

Blade Runner Final Cut at IMAX (Friday 20th Feb)
At midnight this Friday, I shall be comfortably ensconced in the BFI IMAX cinema near Waterloo, keenly anticipating the IMAX presentation of Blade Runner: The Final Cut. I am already getting quite excited about it.
If you happen to be in London on Friday – or if you happen to be going to see the film [...]
Twitter 2009
A couple of years ago I started a Twitter account. I didn’t really want to (as documented here) but I did (as documented here). In July ‘07, I used Twitter to track my progress over 100km during the Oxfam Trailwalker. That can be seen here. Note that there are only 8 tweets. I didn’t even [...]
A Dark Day for The Dark Knight
See what I did there? Clever, innit! What? Alright, alright! No need to be rude about it! Jeez – switch to decaf.
Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah – this hoo-haa about Christian Bale losing his rag with a DoP on the set of Terminator: Salvation. What a douche! To put it in his own words, [...]
