This morning I began my 2-year-old daughter’s ponytail with the confidence of a Hollywood hairstylist. It’s not my fault I have the finesse of a man trying to tie down a tarpaulin in high winds. At sea. During the apocalypse.

Is there some kind of support group for dads who can operate cameras but not hair ties?

Terror stirs in the colonies…

Delighted to share that as I embark on firing my folk horror short GNARLED at 2026 Film Festivals, it has already been officially selected for the Tokyo Lift-Off Film Festival 2026.

Thank you to the festival team for the selection. Not sure how these online festivals work exactly, hopefully not scammy, but nice to add a laurel at this stage.

(Hopefully) more to follow…

The updated, updated and very final submission trailer for my folk horror short film GNARLED. Ready for festival entry… or if it goes nowhere, straight to Youtube! 😭

Superstition. Fear. The untamed frontier. GNARLED is a period folk horror short set in the shadows of the English Colonies in America, deep in the New World, where the twisted roots and branches of ancient beliefs still hold power. If you love slow-burn horror, folklore, and atmospheric storytelling, this one’s for you.

GNARLED grew out of my long-standing love of history and my desire to create a period short that feels textured, immersive, and steeped in atmosphere. I’m drawn to moments in the past that feel close enough to touch yet remain unsettlingly unfamiliar, where daily life was shaped by belief, superstition, and the natural world.

Looking forward to sharing the full film.

The moon was quite low the other night

I do enjoy a lunchtime walk. And I've passed by this very small village - Warminghurst, West Sussex - many times over the years, but I had absolutely no idea about its historic significance and importance. It's basically just a church, a wall, some fields, and a few houses.

Turns out that William Penn lived here for around 25 years. And it was here, with his fellow Quakers, that he wrote "The Frame of Government" in 1682 for his granted land in the New World - Pennsylvania (literally 'Penn’s woods'). Before departing on his voyage across the Atlantic to establish a colony there.

For perspective: without that remarkably forward-thinking document, there might never have been a U.S. Constitution… and so perhaps no United States at all. And it was written here. In this tiny little corner of England.

Superstition. Fear. The untamed frontier. "Gnarled" is a period folk horror short set in the shadows of the King’s Colonies, deep in the New World. Where the twisted roots and branches of ancient beliefs still hold power.

Coming soon.

Scared. Tired. Bloodsoaked. And that was just the shoot.

plunging himself into a world of frontier superstitions in my colonial folk horror short, Gnarled.

Well, here we all are now. All the Dads.

Happy Belated Father's Day to me. Thank you, sausage 👶

To or not to AI... at the very low budget end of the creative scale, it can serve to democratise the process to an extent, I think. Using descriptions from my script, I was able to curate myself a bit of concept art for my folk horror short project. Like any tool, it serves a purpose, but the ultimate goal should be one of facilitation rather than end result. Would I have liked to have seen what an artist could have inspired based on the same script ? Definitely. Could I afford it? No. But it's allowed me to climb up to the next step 🪜

"Province of Massachusetts Bay, 1705. A MAN, gaunt, bloodied, stumbles into frame. Breath ragged. Broken shackles on his hands. His shredded garments speak of punishment - escaped justice, or something more primal."
