Director Statement

If anyone said to me that starting my career as a director with a 'romantic-comedy' 2 years ago, I would have told them they were insane or at least had run out of coffee.

What I love about everyone being so wrong, is that directing a 'romantic-comedy' feels so right for me. As a director I want to make films and web series that feel authentic with characters that feel real, but most of all, make people smile when they have finished watching it.

'I Did' is the start of all of this. Born out of the craziness that I couldn't have an interesting stag do (because not drinking makes any stag do boring), myself and Chris concucted the idea of "what is the worst that could happen the day before you get married?"

So we invented a fictional stag do that came back to haunt the groom, quite literally.

'I Did' was filmed over 3 days in Newbury & Swindon and has a brilliant cast who took the characters and made them their own. They still make me laugh even after watching the film at least 100 times.

Thank you for checking us out, and I hope that when you see the film, and someone asks you whether you enjoyed it - I hope you say "I Did".
