COURT, is a short i have wanted to make for a while now, i have missed the chance to work on the 48 hour film challenge the last few years so i thought why wait and just do it.

So i wanted to make a short film that i could shoot in a day (a very long day) and it would give me the chance to shoot a short on the RED CAM. I am working on a series of projects with Filmmaker Krish Shrikumar who is also shooting COURT, I am also working with Richard Morgan who edited the behind the scenes on A Spanking in Paradise, we are hoping to document the shoot through short behind the scenes clips. Matt Brown who i have worked with on many projects will be camera assisting on the shoot too.

COURT is written by Josh Makaruk and the script is a short comedy about two men with contrasting outlooks on life as they play a game of one on one basketball on their lunch break.

Myself and Krish took the RED CAM and we shot test footage at an outdoor court in Edinburgh to test light/ set ups on the RED. We got some excellent results and i cant wait to get shooting on it.

COURT will be shot in late July and will be out there very soon!

If you want to get involved! Get in touch!!

IN PRODUCTION- THE HAPPIEST MAN IN TOWN (SHORT)

This is the follow up to my short which won the Halloween Horror Challenge and is showcased on the Best of Scottish Shorts DVD 2008.

I have taken the short story and developed it further by toning down the experimental nature of “five steps” and make The Happiest Man in Town more narrative driven.
