Drama and Film

I write scripts, direct/make films, act and release a weekly vlog series. The last film I worked on was called The Wedding of Otranto, a prelude to the novel by Horace Walpole. Filming has finished and it will be out to watch soon. I'm currently working on another film called How to Rule the World, acting wherever and whenever I can, writing a script for a longer film, and shooting my vlog series.

A View from the Sky

I gazed out over the ruined fields, the desecrated meadows, the dead flowers, and knew, finally and for certain, that there was no contentment anywhere in the world. Happiness, perhaps, because happiness is transient, it is by definition fleeting, but contentment is only thus when it lasts. In my eyes, I saw what was in my heart. Everything cherished is eventually corrupted and ruined beyond all repair, be it due simply to time, or due to the actions and intrusions of other people - pollutants and creatures who will squirm their way into the pure. Some wind, some breeze, surely, must stir those ruins, but if it did it would only cause the scent of decay to come rasping into the city. The ruined should remain ruined, that is the only hope, that what has been destroyed remains destroyed, and does not stir into some nightmarish half life as a charade of what it once was. There is no place for the living dead. Loss is the moment when something can no longer be sustained, when those events surrounding it ruin it and render it untenable. Certainly, the world was ruined and untenable. I wanted the past back. I wanted it back. But it was the past, and as dead as the landscape. Turn away, turn far away.
