Showreel

Lah Di Dah (2022)

Morris, a young man struggling with his mental health, decides to kidnap his terminally ill father from a care home at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and take him on a surprise road trip. But reconnecting with his old man is not going to be easy.

   Directed by Steve Sale, 'Lah Di Dah' was primarily shot over the course of one week as Steve, David Whiting (Dad) and I (Morris) drove from Surrey to the Scottish border and back!

Below are a few extracts from the film...

Dogwood (2021)

Martin (Joe Newton) is a casualty of society. He is under appreciated and overworked as a salary man in the city. With the mounting pressure on his shoulders, he experiences a breakdown at work and loses his job. After visiting his childhood home to collect some possessions he finds his old poetry book, which he finds inspiring. He can't bear to go home and decides to go and live off grid in the woods. Here he attempts to survive, to try to find himself again, through nature and writing poetry.

**** UK Film Review, "Newton commits one hundred percent to every requirement of his role and his highly nuanced performance delivers time and time again."
