Cuban Fury Reviews

14 f 14

The dance-fight I choreographed for Cuban Fury has been getting rave reviews.  Check out this excerpt from View London: “…there is one stand-out sequence involving a brilliantly choreographed dance-off in a car park that is worth the price of admission. Similarly, Griffiths gets the tone of the film exactly right, pulling off an enjoyable feel-good […]

Women in Film

14 f 14

When I walked onto my first feature film set in 1998, I was one of a handful of females.  I was also young and the assumption was that I was either an actress, or part of make-up and hair.  Then, as now, the majority of film crews and HODs (heads of department) are men.  Although […]

Why the 40 Hour Work Week Wasn’t Such a Bad Idea

Open Source Script-writing Software

In the past I’ve used CELTX for screen-writing as it is open source and free.  However, these days, the software is super bloated and cumbersome and is basically trying to do too much, so I’ve switched to TRELBY and it’s BRILLIANT.  It is easy, simple, very compatible with Final Draft, and imports from and exports […]
