Award winning writer. Currently working with John Carpenter. New video series, There’s a Scene, coming soon.
Very pleased to announce that I’ve signed with The bks Agency and am delighted to have the remarkable James Spackman as my new literary agent.

Issue 8 is out! @hinchcliffe.bsky.social jumps in to the joyously absurd BLIND RAGE ("Let’s begin by synchronising your Braille watches!") and @sizemore.bsky.social puts the soundtrack to the Italian Job over the Bourne Identity, to make a point about... cinema?

Kevin Costner would have beat that mutt to death with a kryptonite shovel and told Clark it had gone to live on a farm. Just not their farm.

Interesting to see in the NYT that James Frey is back with a new novel! That whole scandal seems a million years ago. Here’s a snap from when @sizemore.bsky.social interviewed him back in 2009 at the ICA- the video is lost in internet time. And evidence we didn’t return the book for a refund
