I am a Writer/Director. I am have just finished a HND in TV & video production at Edinburgh's Telford collage. I am self educated I have falling in love with the full production process.
I am looking to get my start in the industry wether it be a paid runners job or whatever position i can prove myself in. I am good with the PD170, Sony Z1, & the JVC HD 500.
5 years ago i was a crack head. The feeling i got from smoking a pipe is the same feeling i get when i write a script turn it in to a production and see it come to life.
I am just teaching myself lighting & auido production, I have a love hate relationship with final cut/editing
(it loves to hate me)
i am getting used to DVD studtio pro & compressor
I am 30 years old father of 2 and lived a life most people could not comprehend i used to be the youngest person ever locked up in scotland. I stay in an inner city estate Muirhouse.
I now talk to social workers about youth and criminal justice from the kids POV.
I have taking part in the national drugs death forum to try & counter act the number of overdoses & come up with suggestions to try and gauge the opinion of Scotland's 20,000 addicts to the scottish executive.

If any body from a production comany is reading this all i need is that one chance to prove myself i can write now after my 4 production i can Direct. I am getting Media coverage "tipped for big things"
Who else can basicley shut a full inner city estae down to make a film. Plus i still have not spent any money on any of my productions. people are comparing me to Shane meadows but i would like to feel i am a cross between Noel Clark KIDAULTHOOD & Ken Loach SWEET 16.
