I wrote a treatment after I took Exciting Treatments. I don't know if you remember, but it was an idea based on the life of a medieval Welsh poet called Dafydd ap Gwilym. It was also a hip-hop musical.
Daft, I know! But after a couple of drafts of the (exciting!) treatment, the Film Agency for Wales thought it good enough to develop into a feature film screenplay. So, they put some money my way and I'm currently writing up the first draft.
Even though the Exciting Treatments course was just a day long, I got a hell of a lot out of it. I think it's because we were made to write and come up with ideas in a workshop environment and didn't have time to ponder or brood over our ideas. Also, the generalization/sequence/specific action rule was very handy when writing out the treatment. Thanks for that! Don't think the treatment would have been half as good had I not attended your course.
Anyway, the project is currently called 'Superstar Bard' and I will be directing it through production company Fiction Factory in Cardiff.

Following a week at Charles Harris's Screenlab Summer School in July 2009, three scripts were commissioned by a US client looking for to market films aimed at the immigrant community. As well as developing further ideas I'm in discussion with a BAFTA Award-winning writer/producer who is interested in my horror project.

I took Fenella Greenfield's "Write a 10 Minute Short in a Day" course in 2009. It took me 2 years to get the crew and location together to make that film, but I managed it. I then took Fenella's "Script to Screen" course in 2011; she gave me ideas on how to make a trailer and website for the film, which has helped prepare for my current festival push for the film. This is undoubtedly my best work, and it's due in some part to what I learnt through Euroscript, so thank you.

I got pleasing feedback on the start of my TV series from a script workshop. I spent several weeks looking at my full-length feature films again last year, and feel consistently happy with them and that they are ready for production.

I have recently completed the first draft of my first screenplay Fractions, a romantic comedy set in New York City.

My first feature film Beliefs, Myths and Curses has been optioned by small, Brighton-based Avanti Productions with a view to it being the follow-up to their first co-produced feature film Dora. Brian Blessed and Hildegard Neil are attached to my second feature film Hearts of Cold Stone which is about the WW2 massacre of a French village. My work-in-progress is a hard-nosed chick-flick called Make Up. Attached to this project is Romanian star Mihai Arsene (The King's Speech, Martin Scorsese' s Hugo, Cabret and Anna Karenina).

In 2011 my short story Man or Mouse won the Writer's Forum short fiction prize. It was subsequently optioned as a feature film by a BAFTA nominated producer.

In 2011 I finished my fourth spec script and have started No.5 and 6, which I will finish in 2012. I still get excited as I sit down at my computer.
