Redeemed film is now a book

So you can see my journey of making this film has not been an easy one, and in the end the story was still important to me so I wrote it as a novel, and it's been professionally edited and is now available!

So if you want to see what my vision would have been, here it is

What's happening

Some great news to report, we have a music composer working on 'Stalking' currently doing the sound, foley, and music over in London! Rob Knight from Sonik Lab is onboard taking the short to the next level! 

Also, the novel version of Redeemed has been completed, revised, looked over by SAS Military Advisers, C17 Pilots, Intelligence Ops for authenticity, polished, and read by a professional author friend of mine, and finally submitted for publishing consideration. 

I've taken up fashion photography in what little spare time I have to keep the creative edge flowing. 

More updates to come!

'Stalking' Short Film location scout

We've finished filming Rob Maylor's scenes and now we are waiting for the lead actress schedules and location availability to line up. Here's some shots of our fantastic location!

Redeemed and Stalking Progress

Well it's been a while since I blogged and for that I apologise but here's an update!

Redeemed continues progressing as a novel, chipping away at the pages bit by bit, and my short film 'Stalking' is slowly moving forward.

After casting Morgan Allan and Trudi Michelle as my lead actresses, their schedules don't line up with the location availability till February...

So in the mean time I did a photo shoot for the poster of the film with DOP Glen Bowden

Here's some of the shots!
