“Myth embodies the nearest approach to absolute truth that can be stated in words.” —Coomaraswamy

My purpose in life is to create mythic narrative, whether it is through novels, films, or poetry. I am drawn to the baroque and the spiritual like a moth to flame. If this sounds like something you're interested in, or resonates with your own journey, then this is the place to be.

I’m making a full length movie called Black Knife

Black Knife is an upcoming occult thriller film, written and directed by me. The film promises the supernaturally charged horror of Mandy (2018) combined with the occult mystery of A Dark Song (2016). Here is the logline:

Occult investigator, Marlowe, is hired to steal a priceless esoteric artefact. But when his friend is killed, and the knife taken by the psychopath Poole, Marlowe sets out to find his enemy—and settle the reckoning.
