1968Born
I was born a Shropshire Lad in 1968 and grew up obsessing about music and films. My first love aged 7 years old was a tape recorder and I used it to document and replay the best bits of my world.
1995 - 200813,000 hrs
Between 1995 and 2008 I logged approximately 13,000 hours creating interactive story games, networked story prototypes and innovative online experiences. I got my interactive work shown internationally, filled a book of useful contacts and developed some extraordinary techniques for audience engagement.
2008Oscars of the Internet
In 2008 my interactive film “Crimeface” won 2 Webby Awards (Oscars of the Internet) and due to escalating interest from UK broadcasters in my work I started Bellyfeel.
