Career
His professional acting debut was in Richard Linklater's 2008 film, Me and Orson Welles[1] playing 1930's Broadway star John Willard. Other credits include Jed Quinn in EastEnders,[2] for BBC and Peter in the feature film Provenance, for which he won Best Supporting Actor at the 2017 Madrid Film Festival.
Hinterland[3] was his debut feature film as a writer and director.[4] It was nominated Best British Feature at Raindance Film Festival 2014[5] and in three categories including Best Debut Film at the Beijing International Film Festival 2015. Hinterland was the UK's first fully carbon-neutral feature film.[6]
His second feature as writer and director titled Supernova, starred Colin Firth and Stanley Tucci. It had its world premiere at San Sebastian Film Festival in 2020 and played as one of only 12 physical screenings at the 2020 London Film Festival. The film was released by Studio Canal in the UK and Bleecker Street in the USA. It gained rave reviews on its release.[7] The film scored 91% on Rotten Tomatoes.[8] The film was long-listed for two BAFTA Awards including Outstanding British Film in 2021,[9] and short-listed for Best Feature Film at the European Film Awards in the same year.[10] In 2022, Supernova appeared on the 'Best British Films of the 21st Century' list - a poll by UK film critics.[11]
