I've made a number of self-funded 'passion' projects outside the television system. They've screened in the UK, Europe and the USA. Festivals include The Edinburgh Film Festival, Slamdance and Open City.
They tend to look at the outsider in society; unheard-of artists in unlikely places, far away from the big city, all doing their own thing with total commitment.
The latest one, set in Herefordshire, UK will complete in 2017.
