Why Hope? From Dennis Skinner holding Prime Ministers to account, to the pageantry, politics and tradition of the Durham Miners’ Gala to the commitment of grassroots activists, one thing drives these connected stories - Hope. A hope in people, community and a better future for all.

Kickstarter Donor. The Big Scary 'S' Word. (2020)
The Big Scary "S" Word explores the rich history of the American socialist movement. Weaving together hidden episodes of history and verité footage, the film shows that, contrary to popular belief, socialism is in fact deeply American and led to popular government programs such as public schools and Medicare.

CD-ROM
Charlton Heston's Voyage Through The Bible
1995 | Jones Digital Century
Video Consultant
Using footage repurposed from the 1992 A&E television series, actor Charlton Heston hosts this interactive journey on CD-ROM. The chapters include illustrations and photographs of the locations, with examples of art and music of the period, and text of the gospels that the story is based upon. Over 200 works of art by artists, such as Da Vinci and Michelangelo, illustrate the journey. You can also hear music including Gregorian and Byzantine chants, Bach, Mozart and Faure. It was created for Windows 3.1 and classic Mac OS using very early versions of Quicktime, Macromedia Director, Adobe Premiere, Photoshop and Equilibrium DeBabelizer. Because of the limitations of consumer hardware of the time, the video was custom rendered to match the 256 color palettes of the surrounding graphics.

Cosmic Storyteller
2001 | Platform Records
Producer/Guitar
Cosmic Storyteller is the "lost" 1960's album by mythical psychedelic supergroup Unicorn. Thought to be lost forever, the album languished in a vault for over 30 years without having ever been released. Hmmm... we always wondered where we'd left it!
As well as co-producing the mythical album, I'm also a mythical associate producer for the mythical upcoming movie - you can check out the mythical trailer here.
