My new flash short, For All My Future Loves, is available at Pink Ochre.
The story is part of the third volume of the new literary magazine. You can read my story, and others, at their website.
For All My Future Loves is about the anxiety of modern love – trying to force the heart to feel what the head wants. You can read the story here.
The Cost of the Crown has been named a finalist in the third NSBM International Youth Film Festival.
The festival will take place September 24th. The film will be screened at the NSBM Green University Main Auditorium in Sri Lanka.
I wrote The Cost of the Crown, which was filmed at Nu Boyana in Bulgaria. Director Moe Acharki said: “My sincere thanks to the jury for this honour and recognition. I’m truly grateful for this opportunity and look forward to sharing the film with audiences at the festival.”

It’s a busy week for me and Moe, with The Haunted House Hotel also getting a screening on Saturday.
My new short story, For All My Future Loves, will be published tomorrow. It’ll be part of the third volume of Pink Ochre magazine.
The flash piece is the story of love felt in the head instead of the heart. Of the fear of being alone. It’s what happens when you shop for romance like it’s a phone charger, and the anxiety it builds in you.
Pink Ochre is a new literary magazine, started just this year, focussing on stories of love. It covers the melancholy, the joy and everything in between.
You’ll be able to check out the third volume of the digital magazine – and For All My Future Loves – tomorrow (Tuesday, September 22).
The Haunted House Hotel will screen at the REVEEU Finale and Awards Night this weekend.
The screening is at the Lockworks Cinema in Wolverhampton. It takes place on Saturday. Films will be screened between 4pm and 7pm. Tickets cost £5.
It follows a voting campaign that saw more than 200 people back The Haunted House Hotel in the competition.
Director Moe Acharki will be in attendance. He said: “This film continues to find new life, and that’s a testament to the incredible work of the cast and crew who helped bring it to the screen.”
The film, which I wrote in a single session, was shot at Nu Boyana in Bulgaria, and was screened at the Oscar-qualifying In The Palace festival.
For more information or to buy tickets, check out the Reveeu website.
The Haunted House Hotel will be shown at the Realtime International FILM Festival 2026.
The film will be shown during the festival, which takes place from October 23 to 25. It’s in Worcester. Tickets are available now.
It’s always fun when a new audience gets to watch The Haunted House Hotel, and I hope everybody at Realtime International enjoys it. You could also see lead actor Bojidar Nikolov as the main image on the announcement of the Realtime selections for a while.
I have a real soft spot for this film, and loved making it. To celebrate its release to YouTube, I revisited the characters for a sequel, set in the modern day.
