Biography
Having asked my designer for a biography page I now have absolutely no idea what to write.
I live in London with my lovely wife, Lydia and two young children, Maximilian and Luciana.
I love directing. I love writing biographies a little less.
I think that's it.
James.

Features
Here are a few of the lovely comments from the press.

Trip” “An overlooked gem”
The Mail - Four stars
“a warm hearted film,
full of wit and insight”
The Independent - Four stars
“contains more big laughs in it’s first 20 minutes than Adam Sandler has
generated in his past five movies”
‘A tremendous new British comedy’

I'm also developing a new feature film called "Monumental", in partnership with Baby Cow films and the BBC.
Set around the slightly bizarre trend in the Balkans for erecting statues to unlikely Hollywood heroes, this is scheduled for production in 2017.
