About
Michael’s first screenplay was shortlisted by Scottish Screen for BBC Fast Forward Features and his second secured a commission for Channel 4’s Coming Up strand. While developing his craft directing a wide range of TV Drama, Michael has continued to have short films commissioned by both the BBC and the UK Film Council. Michael brought those cinematic ambitions to the small screen this Christmas, giving the original three-part drama ‘Young James Herriot’ an ambitious look and feel, while portraying the darker, more complex world of the Young Vet's training. |
