As the 2013 Budget was coming round the corner, the BBC wanted to promote their friendly coverage of The Economy. I teamed up with Loose Moose to create this animation.

And it’s all made out of real money! Expensive.

Ever the enthuiast for archive material – I wrote, directed and edited this little promo for Breast Cancer UK‘s No More BPA campaign.

Very pleased and surprised that Bradley Manning Had Secrets has won the award for Best Short Film at MIX Copenhagen 2012!

Annoyed I couldn’t be there to pick it up in person, but I’m told my statuette is in the post!

The judges’ statement was very kind, describing it as

an exciting example of contemporary filmmaking

with

palpable emotion and lingering questions.
