I have a script, I have some actors, I have some locations… hmm…. I’m ready to make a film… I just have this niggling feeling that I have forgotten something… something important….. script… actors…. DoP!!!! Of course. Someone to shoot it! Someone to handle the camera and the lights. Someone to twist the knobs, press the buttons and talk about depth of field. Someone to film the bloody thing!

In previous films I’ve worked with Bill Mittman, an old friend from Brighton Film School (now MetFilm), but this year he  has had the temerity to get married right in the middle of my project. Of course I wish him well and he will be helping out but, after various enquiries, I have now engaged Morgan Andrews as Director of Photography (DoP) for my new feature Automatic.

Morgan is a Worthing based cinematographer and has been making videos since he was a teenager. These days it’s his business. He has worked on films such as The Cellar directed by Jamie Langlands and Betrayed directed by Ewan Gorman and Dagmar Scheibenreif and I’m very happy to be workign with him on Automatic.

I am now stepping up efforts to find the final few locations and hoping to start shooting sometime from June onward.
