Hey – just a quick update – I featured recently on the popular local podcast The Light on Leeds – where I discuss my other careers as a BAFTA shortlisted scriptwriter and script consultant and also as a director.

However, at the start of the podcast I mention how I got started in filmmaking by making short films on Super 8mm back in the 80s and 90s. So, it might be worth a listen from that perspective.

You can listen to the podcast here on the Light on Leeds website.   Enjoy!
