A Director on a mission
JD has been working in the film industry for over 20 years. He was a survivor of an English boarding school, which probably explains the darker edges to his films. With a degree in psychology, he brings that understanding to his stories, creating strong and interesting characters.
JD often writes female leads with the strength to rescue themselves and this gives a more individual feel to his films. He has directed half a dozen indie features, several TV Pilots, and a clutch of award winning short films. This gives him the experience needed to deliver the result, on time and on budget.
