Working from Home

Currently in ‘work at home’ mode at the moment. With no studio jobs booked in, its time to brush off my learning head and dig out some more brain cells.

Oh, I did create a logo (a freebie)  for a good friend yesterday, Overground Underground in Ingleton.

Ingleton Community project

Film & Animation Response Team

I am currently in the process of setting up  media Co-operative with a couple of friends in Machynlleth, North Wales.

Sarah Woods, playwright (including the BBC, RSC, Hampstead, Soho and work a lot with Cardboard Citizens. Ran the Mphil in Playwriting at Birmingham University), facilitator and all round motivator. Also Richard Gott, sound recordist and Video editor and me. We seem to have found ourselves in the same place at the right time to do this – addressing current issues in an interesting and immediate way. The Co-operative organisation sets the flavour of our intentions.
