DIRECTORS STATEMENT

“I’ve spent the last ten years flitting between football-based comedy and the horror/thriller genres. It’s been a privilege to work on these projects with some brilliant, talented people. However, it’s been gnawing away at me that I have yet to make anything ‘real’. Something gritty and heartfelt that packs an emotional punch.

The idea for Six Years Gone has been floating around my head for a while. As the parent of a now twelve-year-old daughter, news reports about missing children have always left me with chills, and I felt those feelings could be mined for a script. About six months ago I saw a French film called The Unknown Girl, and it immediately made me think that a similar way of shooting could bring my new idea to life. I loved the ultra-real performances and greyness of the film. I aim to get close to this with Six Years Gone.”

BRIGHTON/SUSSEX

The film will be shot in and around the city, and my ultimate goal would be to cast and crew the film from talent found in the area.
