Really enjoyed having my folk horror short GNARLED in the selection at Horsham Film Festival this week! 🎬🌲

It’s been great to finally see the film begin its festival journey, and I’m looking forward to a few more festival appearances over the next few months before GNARLED reaches the end of its run later this year.

A big thanks to everyone at Horsham Film Festival for having us!

I’m delighted that my little Colonial folk horror GNARLED is continuing its film festival journey, with selection into the London Night Film Festival 2026! 🌲🪓💀

GNARLED is a period folk horror short set in the shadows of the English Colonies in America, long before 1776. Deep in the New World, where the twisted roots and branches of ancient beliefs still hold power…

“Before Independence. Before a Nation. They brought their God across the ocean. Something ancient awaited…”

A huge thank you to London Night Film Festival for selecting GNARLED, and to everyone who has supported the film and helped it find its way to audiences and festivals.

With more festival selections, screenings and news still to come, I can’t wait to share more from the world of GNARLED.

Woah. Throughout all the marketing for , despite only being vaguely familiar with the story, I kept asking myself, "How is Nolan actually going to do this?" Nothing in his filmmaking journey has suggested he had this in him. A cyclops? Mermaids? Matt Damon? What?

The Odyssey is one of the most intense, nightmarish and almost hallucinogenic cinematic experiences I've ever sat through. There were so many moments where I thought, "He's not actually going to go there..." followed almost immediately by, "Oh my God, he's actually gone there." Then, "What the hell is going on?" I came out feeling like I'd just got off a ride. (The lack of air conditioning in the cinema probably helped too.)

As a very contemporary take on a timeless myth, it absolutely delivers. Don't go in expecting a history lesson. Just go with it and enjoy this strange American accented ancient world where magic, monsters and myth feel completely real. A real trip.

This is a filmmaker at the top of his game absolutely pushing himself and his audience. Long live cinema.

"Turn around when possible..."

When you ignore the sat nav and accidentally change world history. What a stunning replica of Columbus' Santa María , visiting Shoreham Port

Happy 250th, America! 🇺🇸

As America celebrates its 250th anniversary, why not journey back with me to an even earlier chapter in its history?

Before Independence.
Before a Nation.
They brought their God across the ocean.
Something ancient awaited them.

Set in 1715 Colonial America, GNARLED is a folk horror short inspired by the fears, faith and folklore of the early colonies. Long before the Revolution, in a time rooted in superstition and ancient belief.

Tap right for the trailer 🎥 🍿

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?
