Writer
I’ve written frequently for screen over the last few years. It’s a different experience than writing a novel or short story – it’s a medium with collaboration baked in. It has strict rules, it rewards economy. It’s a challenge and a joy.
Here are some of the films I’ve written over the last five years. I use Fade In, and it’s a program I recommend to anybody starting to write. You need dedicated software – don’t rely on random websites. Students get a discount.
Some of these films were never going to be shot. In those cases I’ve uploaded a PDF. If you’re interested in adapting or shooting them, please email mat@randominsanity.info

Director
I’ve directed six projects. It’s a lot of fun, and something I’m excited to do again at the right time, with the right people. For the most part, I’m focussed on writing.
Commissioned shorts:
Telford Carers, English Café, Community Link Stafford.
Director of Photography or Assistant Director
These are films where I was cinematographer, and on some I was also assistant director. These include a number of films on which I collaborated with Nathan Holder. Nathan is a fantastic young director and writer with whom I enjoyed working immensely.
