I am a freelance scriptwriter and producer working on a number of projects with Audio Factory amongst others for external parties. My ambition is to write series material for television and screenplays and I am currently developing a number of projects as I look to build on commissions for the series 'Poppy's Play Dates,' 'Eddie Green and Friends' and 'Musical Maddie' for BBC's CBeebies Radio. I have also written scripts for several corporate videos and self produced short films.

Contracted over the six week duration of Millfield Enterprises' English Language summer courses, I created an entry level course structure and delivered it over four lessons to international students that had registered an interest in filmmaking. Working in collaboration with filmmaker Kevin Redpath, we delivered the syllabus over ten teaching hours. Our objective was to provide students with a hands on overview of the fundamental aspects of filmmaking that encouraged them to develop practical skills. Working with a new set of students each week, they were split into small groups and given a subject that was open to interpretation before writing, shooting and editing short film content and presenting it to students and staff at the end of the week.

In April 2014, I donated an entertainment based community magazine that I previously co-owned to a community and arts centre in Glastonbury. 'The Basis' is distributed to 6500 homes in the Street and Glastonbury area of Somerset and this donation was made on the grounds that a variation of internships would be offered to local people. These will include copywriting, journalism, graphic design, business management, new media and web design. In my time as manager and editor of 'The Basis' I presented over 60 local people with opportunities to write for the magazine, allowing them to build their portfolio and hone their craft. Contributors have gone on to write for NME, Central Somerset Gazette and Bristol City match day programmes et al. I also developed exciting commercial links with gig venues including O2 Academy Bristol and the likes of Burger King, Frankie & Benny's, Clarks Village, Millfield School, JD Wetherspoon and the Glastonbury Festivals Organisation. All have advertised in the publication. A major highlight during my time at The Basis was being asked to cover local event The Godney Gathering in which we previewed the event and interviewed high profile bands including The Subways, The Hoosiers and Reef. I have also overseen interviews with The Stranglers, Bastille and many others. As a big music fan I was delighted to manage our Glastonbury Festival 2013 issue and I was subsequently invited to join the press team at the event itself.

Worked with the managing director to setup social networking pages for the company that assists those who are looking to start a career in the television industry. Worked from home to update profile content, create awareness of their work, promote competitions and networking events, and answering enquiries as well as interviewing industry professionals and writing articles.
