Writer Statement

Thank you for considering my feature script for The Knowledge. It's a dark psychological thriller set in early 90’s Soho, that follows a vigilante serial-killer hunting a sadistic and bloodthirsty rival, whilst inadvertently discovering love and empathy on London’s underground rave scene.

It is a fast-paced, darkly humorous, rollercoaster-ride that blends genre to create a mysterious character-driven plot, and pose poignant questions for audiences and society in general. The story culminates in a violent battle as our hero finally confronts his nemesis and faces his own demons.
