A range of my narrative fiction directing work, all in one place!
Table for One is my most recent short film which I wrote and directed.
A dark comedy-drama with a haunting twist, Table for One is the story of a young man, Mo, working as a waiter in the family-owned restaurant. One evening, when business is slow, Mo is surprised to receive an unusual guest; an odd woman and her invisible fiancé.
Table for One is currently going to film festivals and is Official Selection for the Direct Monthly Online Film Festival and the APEX Film Awards. You can watch an excerpt here and get a flavour of the piece!

Haunted by what he thinks is the image of his dead wife, he desperately wants to find a way he can make amends and put right what he did wrong when she was alive. So obsessed has he become to gain forgiveness, he ultimately neglects his duty to his son, leaving him alone in the world. Oblivious, the man has made the same mistake.

One of the very first student short films I made, working with now long-time creative collaborator and great artist, Kieran Simpson. Filmed on 16mm film, this was my first experience with the medium and I learned a great discipline from the process. I had previously worked with Super 8mm, but shooting and lighting for 16mm was a real technical step up. Remembrance was included in Official Selection for the Imperial War Museum Film Festival.
