A long, long time ago, primitive humans lived in alcoves beneath the earth.They eventually made their way up through building tunnels, installing escalators and lifts: a system we now call the London Underground. Here’s a short promo I directed for Transport for London.

We had a lot of fun filming this song, on the magical bean bag chair in Camden. It took a little while longer to film, cause of all the animatronics, CGI (did you know Szark is a CGI Sock?) and hiding the orchestra behind the Bean.But we got there.Just took two weeks.Featuring Marianne Sheehan and the venerable Owen Morse, song created by Svein Nygaard and shot by “Jeduto” Jeremy DuToit.

The Napoleon Complex is complete, after nine months of work and creative toil, the series will air on OH television in October.
It’s gone through a few transformations–and for an experimental comedy what would you expect? It’s now a bit Dr. Who mixed with The Big Breakfast, and some Sesame Street peppered in.
A sample of the reviews so far:
“This stuff is funny. Not like your clown films, I never got those”
“What is the Sock Puppet doing sniffing the flowers?”
“I hated the first version– but this version, we’ve really got something!”
So from a micro-budget chat show to a viral sci fi cult chat show comedy, here’s to geeks world-wide enjoying the series.
We’ve just finished filming a 4 episode comedy sci fi chat show for OHTV in the UK.
Basically, a couple of aliens commission an amateur magician and his sock puppet to make a chat show. Upon viewing, the aliens are not happy with the results.
In the middle of a bunch of projects, but today was continuing on my series of short films on visionary/prophetic artists. I’ve spent some quality time with Andrew Carnegie, filming his work and exploring art from a perspective of spirit. It’ll be a few months, but it’ll get done!
Just got news we’ll be completing The Napoleon Complex series for “Oh” TV (sky channel 199) within the next month. Here are some photos from the shoot, taken by Ben Faulkner. The Napoleon Complex is an experimental chat show with improvisational elements and a green alien sock puppet. I am excited.
The last few weeks I’ve been in Pundit mode, first as a guest on Oh Television’s “Can Obama Save the World?” debate program, then as a radio guest on Henry Bonsu’s colourful radio.
