At the end of 2011, I had the good fortune of shooting some films, the first was a feature film called "The Cure" in which I played the role of a security officer (anybody that knows me will know that this isn't such a huge stretch), for me it was a great opportunity to get back into acting, but also to work with some people that I had watched on TV and in film for a number of years. To be able to mix it with the professionals was pretty amazing stuff. Working on "The Cure" gave me the confidence to seek out other opportunities, I had an extra's role in a short film called "Expressionless" and then a lead role in another short film called "A Dash Of Wine", which I had a lot of fun shooting (it helped that my leading ladies were both amazing actresses') - these roles gave me the hunger to seek out other roles in the future.
2012, I managed to take part in the annual V 48 Hour Film Festival, which is basically a film making competition whereby teams have to write, film and edit a 5 minute short film in the space of 48 Hours. I had the good fortune of working with Kay Fretwell, Alex Plant, Raj Khushal, Bonnie Riley, Connor Rapley, Hannah Paterson, Ryan French, Josh Maessen, Callum Scott, Sanny Orr, Bella Goode & Rachel Roberts on our production of "The Curse Of That Damn Cat", which was all about a guy who had a black cat follow him home and all these bad things start happening in his life...I got to play the part of a bountyhunter/cat exterminator, and I also pop up as waiter (it was fun throwing coffee at Raj & Alex :-)
The rest of 2012 has left me writing up a few of my own ideas - in 2013 we will be shooting 2 short films "Bouncer" (an action/drama), which I will be co-starring with my good friend Lance Louez in and "Sisterhood" (a drama) which will see me once again working with some exceptional young talent (including Bella Goode, who has agreed to co-starring in this one!).
In addition to all these film projects I'll also be working with some directors/casts on some music video ideas for The Feckers that we have had floating around - I am quite excited to see these things come to life in 2013!
