Alpine Adventure
A short film script that won 1st place in the Hammond House 2024 scriptwriting category.
​
Paul has spent decades working nine to five, five days a week, at Tolmouth Gardens. The theme park has him playing the mascot Yeti for their ride Alpine Adventure, and the role has been his life for his time there. When he’s fired due to cutbacks however, it might be easy for the park to let go of him, but Paul and the Yeti of the Cave are clinging to each other with a ferocity that might get people killed.
A dark comedy that veers towards darkness more than laughter, Alpine Adventure was written to the competition's theme of Time, and centrally looks at a man who has spent too much time doing one thing.

An interview with Dr. Dennis Wills, concerning his controversial experiments. Government programs the world over have repeatedly tested their so-called ‘enhanced interrogation techniques’ but Wills’ methods might prove the most unorthodox and disturbing yet. “Would you like a biscuit?”
Cold Case
A short film script written as part of my Masters degree at Goldsmiths, University of London. The script follows a non-binary police officer as they struggle in the oppressive police force of a near-future London.
Detective Lin Hein keeps drawing ire from their superiors, so much so that they are dropped to the ‘Frozen Foods’ desk to clean up cold cases. With dogged determination, Hein follows lead after depressing lead and finds the truth behind the case they were assigned. It's a truth that reveals more about the callous nature of the police force than anything about humanity itself. But what is the way forward when every case solved just leaves you feeling cold?
