ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I graduated from the University of Kent at Canterbury with a B.A. Honours degree in Film Studies. I then became involved in short film-making as part of the View Finder group which led to me making my first film Imagination on Super 8mm. and making a rare acting appearance in the short film Bad Vibes.

I've taught A-Level Film and on practical BTEC/CTEC courses. My writing on cinema has been featured in both the respected 'Close Up Film' and SCOPE- the Online Journal of Film Studies.

Away from film, I have a passionate interest in- and vast collection of- archive audio material. In recent years my collection has been utilised by a stage play and even by the BBC! An edition of 'The Archive Hour' on BBC Radio 4 (tx. 20/12/2008) included many of my recordings. BBC Radio Norfolk broadcast my documentary 'Paul Simon in Norwich' in August 2015, whilst BBC Radio 4 broadcast a documentary I contributed to - Raiders of the Lost Archive - in October 2022. I have appeared on local and national radio as well as regional and national television.
