Ahead of the London Breakfast Club event today with Vanessa Bailey I thought I would share the video from the premiere of ‘Seeing Him’ last month. It was an emotional evening, as every premiere should be, perhaps doubly so because of the journey Vanessa and her family went on to get this film to the […]
Last weekend we premiered the latest film I directed, a hard hitting drama about forbidden love called ‘Seeing Him’.

Last weekend, editor Chris Frith and myself, picture locked ‘Seeing Him’. Everyone in the team felt like we finished the edit weeks ago, but I was also sure we could continue to make improvements. At this stage, I have learned that small changes can often make a big difference in the viewing experience. It’s also […]
We are in the final stages of fine cutting ‘Seeing Him’, a short film written, produced by and starring Vanessa Bailey.
