I'm 18, live in Dorset - England on a Council Estate called Creekmoor (Not the best reputation in Dorset but it has it's charms). I live with my mum Lydia and her Fiancee Dave along with Monty our dumbass dog <3. I grew up with alot of movies. At about 9 my mums idea of a family movie was Alien 1,True Lies and anything with Stallone in, which is probably the main cause of my obsession with Movies today. She never brought me up watching crap like Barney the Dinosaur, instead it was an educational video of Rambo: First Blood.

When I was 14, I wrote my first movie script called "Fallen". It was about the cliche fight between good and evil between Devils and Angels, just with sword's and quite a few guns. After I had finished it I found that "Fallen" was a Denzel Washington movie, so I renamed it.

Later when I was about 15, I wrote a very dark noir style horror movie, similar to Silent Hill, just without the fighting. I never finished it though as at the time I had plenty of other thing's which preoccupied me, plus I never imagined I'd try and make a living out of it so it was soley a hobby.

At 16, still just as a hobby, I wrote a sequel to Fallen, just this time I wrote it with my best friend Neal =). It was called Home Of Two Seasons and it followed up the character but set quite a while into the future. It was a total mix of anime style and combat and would have been an awesome Japanese movie if we had Hollywood's entire budget for a yea to spend.

At 17 I came out of school with barely any GCSE's and an English Teacher who mocked me for having ambitions. It's not to say that the crap grades weren't my fault, however even now I don't see that GCSE's matter a whole deal as the likes of Tarantino show.

This however was when I saw that my only real choice was either the army or in movies. The army seemed more realistic but I find most people who take the easy choice regret it in later life, so I spent a week studying how to write movies in their proper format's and got some programs used by proffesional script writers [I recommend First Draft]. I wrote my first proper script named 'Pandora Generation'.

Pandora Generation was a movie about nuclear weapons and goverment agent's. A very American action thriller, although it wasn't Steven Segal style, it was more along the lines of a Keifer Sutherland movie. This was pretty much the script that made me continue writing more. It wasn't 'great' by any means, but it was on the verge of what I could call 'Ok'.

After that I wrote a movie called 'Honour and Ashes' about a team of three bounty hunters who messed up on a job only to have their loved one's killed as a consequence. I never managed to finish this one due to coursework from college (A small media course) but I might do a re write of it someday.

The college course went about as well as school did. Not because I was bad at it, but because nothing in the course interested me. I went to it thinking it would be filming, scripts and other such things, instead I got battered with Senseless lessons about how much newspapers make. Worst of all though, they used Macs :(. However I left with some good friends, most of them though I don't keep in contact with any longer.

Now 18, I started to doubt the chances of me becoming a writer, not just by the amount of competition, but also the temptation to join the army. I handed in my papers, took the test which I got a very high score for, much to the suprise of the Warrant Officer who took one look at my school grades and nearly shot me on the spot. I even started my fitness training for the entry test, however everytime I was supposed to run, I ended up wanting to write. So I started writing again in my spare time, eventually writing a movie named "Smile, Please, Insanity" which was not a movie of the likes I had written before.

It was of a man who hated everything in his life but saw a mysterious girl who eventually fell in love with him after he saved her life. After sleeping with him, she drugs him, giving him only days to live. He figures this first of all as a bad thing but decides to use what time he has left to do the all the thing's he's wanted to do.

Most of these movies I'd written I liked but figured that their structuring was the the thing left bugging me. I figured that the main reason I couldn't get the structure right was because through all of them, I was making the story up as I went along. So I went out and bought a massive whiteboard from staples and just planned the entire movie before I started writing.

I planned and wrote my first movie that I felt was good enoughto be sent for analysing called Splatter Effect. It's about a group of assasins sent to kill one guy but end up fighting each other for various and unusual reasons. Most of the time due to both race or drugs. It's not a movie to be taken serisouly but more as a gore comedy.

After finishing the first draft of Splatter Effect I started writing the script I'm currently writing called 'Singularity', about a crew of people's journey outside of the Milky way. It doesn't so much base itself around the universe but rather around our insignificance in it.

However I've got the worst case of writers block at the moment and I am trying to cure it by making this blog and playing the odd bit Of Hitman Contracts.

Well done to you if you actually read all that.
