Journeys Festival International 2022


Now in its 10th year the Journeys Festival International took over the streets of Leicester over the weekend of 12th-14th August.
Bringing together performers from around the UK and further afield the festivals aim is to explore big ideas and create experiences that will excite and entertain.
By coming together in Leicester the festival celebrates its diversity and the journeys we all make in our lives.
As you view my film see if you can spot the Liberty Angels by Oak Leaf Street Show, watching from positions that give them an overview of the city and its people you may spot them in the background of some of the other performances.
The film begins at the clock tower with Frock by Stopgap Dance Company, before a giant slug invades Jubilee Square ! in Seed By Piff-Paff Theater Company.
The Liberty Angels come down from their high vantage points to walk among us on the high street before we end on an highly kinetic  environmental message from Highly Sprung`s Cast Away as the keeper of the waterways who is drowning in plastic from our throw away society rises up.

Early Morning at Bradgate Park

This short film was shot by me during the early morning sunrise at Bradgate Park in Leicestershire. The film features Bradgate park which was the birthplace and early home of Lady Jane Grey - 9 days Queen of England. The park is well known for its herds of red and fallow deer who roam freely amongst the spectacular scenery of this unspoilt part of Leicestershire.

BMX National Series at Huncote Hornets, Leicestershire

The 29th and 30th September 2018 saw the #BMX National Series come to #Leicester Huncote Hornets BMX track, The event (rescheduled due to weather issues in early spring) saw riders of all ages arrive in the Leicestershire town from across the country to do battle on the Hornets BMX track behind the Pavilion leisure center. My film aims to give a sense of the race atmosphere on day two of the event where a dramatically cloudy sky and lighting gave a cinematic feel to races on the track. Hold on tight this is a fast one !.

The Paris - Roubaix Bike Race - April 2013

My film features the professional (and dusty !) Paris - Roubaix Bike Race which took place in April 2013 and was filmed at various locations along the route in France. The Race takes place (as its name suggests) on a route between Paris and Roubaix in northern France and is famous for its rough terrain and cobblestones which often cause riders to fall and gives the race its nickname of 'The Hell of the North & 'A Sunday in Hell'. The event was first run in 1896 and as one of cycling's oldest races draws large crowds from many country's. The race was created by two Roubaix textile manufacturers, Théodore Vienne and Maurice Perez.
