We’re selling a spaceship
With the cockpit/bridge shots behind us, the dauntless Team Offworld find ourselves in possession of a rather swanky looking spaceship set. And, a bit like when Han lost the Falcon to Lando, it can be yours. We’ve made no secret of the fact that making a film is expensive and even with our generous Kickstarter backers giving us […]

Strange Connections – My Tenuous Link to Game of Thrones
Science says I am no more than seven steps from Kevin Bacon. Science also says I am probably no more than ten feet from a rat whenever I’m in London. Life, like writing, is full of strange connections. Writing is a predominantly solitary pursuit. Many writers, myself included, clearly feel this isolation. The hashtag, #amwriting, far […]

Offworld Cast Photos Part 1
Aimee Hibbard from Sticky Ink Studios has delivered some fantastic cast photos for Offworld. If you’re following us on Facebook then you will already have seen them but, for those who aren’t… here they are. I absolutely love the utilitarian style of the Tantalus II crew uniforms and how versatile they are in terms of how […]

Offworld Filming is complete (sort of) – here’s what happened.

It was a strange experience – watching people act […]

The main OffWorld shoot begins today. Or, more accurately, “Five days of do or die filming begin today”. The crew are already on location and have already started shooting scenes as I write this. They need to do an incredible amount – the schedule we have means trying to do in one day what most […]
What I’m working on in 2017
It’s my birthday today. For a lot of writers (or at least a lot of the writers I know), birthdays are a time when you take a look at what you’ve achieved so far in your writing career and what you’ve got coming up. It can be a bit of a maudlin affair in some instances. […]
We built a spaceship!
We made a spaceship. Well, Terry Cooper and a team of really hard working set-builders built a spaceship. I mostly sat at my desk at home and posted things like “Is the space ship ready yet?” on Facebook. Still, everyone has their part to play. Yesterday was the first day of shooting for Offworld and the […]
Today the first scenes from my first ever feature film will be shot. Today it feels official – I am a screen writer.
Actually, I’ve been there before. Today, I’m a feature film screen writer.
Big. Boy. Pants.
