One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent a time in Bangkok during the may 2010 red shirt riots filming and reporting on the situation. Then filmed a documentary with fleeing orphans on the Thai/Burmese border. That was amazing.

Climbing in Albarracin, (Spain) Was one of the greatest adventures I have had yet. Climbing for five days and camping in the woods with no tent. Climbing trees to gather wood for a fire and living off the land with an extraordinary group of people was one of the best experiences of my life so far.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to learn as much as I can. I know a lot of film. I have worked at the BBC and on some big film titles. Happy to teach that as well as english of course.

I love teaching people to play guitar, harmonica, piano and how to sing and write to the level I am currently at with these instruments and fields. And please, please if you want to jam let me know! It's something I love and in my experience the best way to share, learn and teach each other anything.

I am also a writer and be more than happy to give my opinion and advise on this in anyway you wish, however I would never be so arrogant to believe to teach you how to write. Writing can only come from your own heart and you should never listen to anyone but yourself on what ever it is you create However I would love to read it and talk about anything that you have written or my experience with you anytime.
