The Shieling Project
I try to share as much recent work on here as possible – mainly because I’m terrible for updating my folio website – but also because it’s always nice to write up a project with a bit of a story along side it so the blog is a good forum for that. I’ve just finished […]

To be fair, that ‘task in […]

Introducing the “Award Winning” Kieran Baxter
Last week Kieran and I travelled down to London to attend the AHRC Research in Film Awards which was hosted at the BAFTA Theatre in Piccadilly where Kieran’s Caterthuns film won in the Doctoral Award category.
