i’ll be doing one on one drawing performances at the jewish book week literary lounge – where we’ll make our own first person feature film outlines – i’ll draw, you’ll film, we’ll talk. Come find me at Kings Place in Kings Cross between 12 and 5 tomorrow, Sunday 24th February. This is a precursor to my third feature – also a first person comedy which has its very own male jewish arthouse superstar.

film drawing analysis
Posted by – July 17, 2012
i set this film drawing blog up to think about my life as a filmmaker – the hurdles of trying to persuade the gatekeepers to take me on – but how often could i draw those holders of the keys – so it’s become a more widespread sketchbook of insights, points of emotion and filmic thoughts on paper with some ink and watercolour

watch tick tock lullaby at the bfi mediatheque (for free)
Posted by – May 15, 2012
To celebrate the 26th London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival, we have added new free films to Beautiful Things, our landmark collection showing queer British lives on screen across the last century, which can be accessed at pop-in Mediatheques across the UK. New additions include Dream A40 (1965), Lloyd Reckord’s mesmerising underground short given a new lease of life by the BFI National Archive, while Dame Judi Dench and Bill Nighy escape dreary post-war austerity in a crumbling Soho drinking den in tragicomic TV treat Absolute Hell (1991). Contemporary work includes Tick Tock Lullaby (2007), Lisa Gornick’s witty follow-up to her debut feature Do I Love You? (2002), Nathan Evans’ series of short films featuring cult performance artist David Hoyle, and the dreamlike Delphinium: A Childhood Portrait of Derek Jarman (2011).
With over 100 films and television programmes, from Victorian drag queens and singing lesbian highwaywomen to Fingersmith (2005) and The Line of Beauty (2006), Beautiful Things celebrates Britain’s rich legacy of LGBT representation on big and small screen alike.
BFI Southbank’s Mediatheque is the place to explore the BFI National Archive for free. You can also find Mediatheques at Cambridge Central Library, the Discovery Museum, Newcastle, QUAD, Derby and Wrexham Library.

and I’m kind of excited to do it. I’m really excited to see what they’ll say. Will they psychoanalyse me. Will I want to film them. How do we see each other? Is the making of film akin to the analysis session? This is my preconceived view of it. I’ll draw the actual experience tomorrow.
film drawing performance this thursday open to all let me know if you want to come

Dip wins award in Germany
Posted by – October 21, 2011
Dip has won a jury award at Osnabruck film festival. It’s the youth jury award for moral courage. It’s great for the film to be read this way – when we were making it and in the edit – I always saw the film as an anti violence film within a thriller genre. There’s this gun that features a lot being bought for revenge and then there’s an ex child soldier from Somalia obsessing with guilt at what he did because of revenge. The two worlds meet on the top of a London night bus. Thank you so much Youth Jury in Osnabruck for catching what this film is about and giving it such an honour.
