that he would see his first major production with the self-penned
feature "Footsteps". In 2006 the film premiered at the Swansea Bay Film
Festival where it was awarded the prize for "Best Film", it has since
gone on to receive critical acclaim and is due to be released in the US
through extreme cinema label, Unearthed Films in summer 2007.
Currently he is directing a documentary for Christine Hakim Films in
Indonesia entitled "The Mystic Arts of Indonesia: Pencak Silat". The
documentary is one of a five episode series covering the cultural
heritage of Indonesia and is expected to broadcast once the series is
complete in 2008.
Following this he is expected to begin work on a second feature in
summer 2007.
