Plan B- ill manors

Top Boy director Yann Demange directed this music video for Plan B's latest.
I was assistant casting director on the film Ill Manors so we used some of the cast from the film and some from Top Boy which I had assisted on for Des Hamilton.
Here is a link to the video but you should also read his statement so you understand Bens message behind the video.

Eli

I realised that I never included a link to my own film Eli.
I made this for Straight 8 2010 and it has been shown at Cannes Film Festival and several other film festivals since including Raindance, Rushes Soho shorts, Couch Fest, CFC Worldwide short festival and more.. I even won a bottle of olive oil in a festival in France!

Thanks to Lorna Marsh and Eli.

This is the cinema ad directed by Daniel Wolfe.

I spent almost 3 weeks in Ireland travelling around to street cast the web content for the Tourism Ireland commercial and also crossed over to the main tvc. Fell in love with Dingle! Actually everywhere I went in Ireland was pretty special. :)


Here is one for the web content directed by Bob Harlow.

Once again lots of street casting for this commercial. The guy who had his head shaved really was raising money for charity and was planning on a charity head shave for a still born charity. We got him to have the headshave with his family around him for the commercial. Great moment and lots of money raised.
