Cowboys
Online Launch, Monday 12th Jun

Cowboys was the first film I made around 2010. It was made as a result of the workshops I attended at 'The Actors Temple,' specifically the lesson from The Meisner Technique.

It was made by stealing rehearsal time from The Actors Temple, sneaking in when no one was around, as I couldn't afford to pay for it. It was this experience that would influence the ethos of my own acting studio, 'Actors East,' opened in 2018.

Cowboys was made for under £1000 and taught me everything I needed to know about filmmaking. I wish I knew how bloody good it was when I made it; I am very proud.

It contains within it the founding principle upon which the rest of my work as a writer/director is built
