Growing up, I perceived my dad as an immortal super hero. He couldn’t get hurt or sick, he couldn’t cry or make mistakes. He had everything figured out. Then suddenly, he was in critical condition following a near-fatal heart attack, and I had to come to terms with the fact that he’s not invincible. He’s human just like me.

Now, 10 years later, I made this film completely on spec with practically no budget (thanks to Inde Motorsports) in order to share this message: sometimes our fathers need us just as much as we need them. Getting BMW behind the film was a pipe dream, but they connected with the story, and now I get to share it with the world.

    Writer/Director. Born and raised in Northern England, I emigrated to Los Angeles as a teenager. My journey has given me a unique directorial voice that resides somewhere in the middle ground between documentary and narrative filmmaking, and my work blends the two mediums - exercising creativity without sacrificing honesty.
