I'm co-producing an Afrobeats film, which we hope will be unique and pioneering. Set between the UK and Nigeria, it's a coming-of-age tale exploring identity and belonging, using the global phenomenon that is Afrobeats as a vehicle. We're in scriptwriting and pre-production mode, but we're still raising finance for it.

​
This is currently on hiatus. I'd like to get the best writers to write for Grey Continent, but the best writers want to get paid, which I support. We're trying to figure out how to make it work on a shoestring budget. We should be back soon.

I'm currently pitching a fairly meta idea to podcast production companies - it's an interview podcast... about interviews. I've developed it alongside Decca Aitkenhead, who's the Sunday Times's chief interviewers.
​
We'd speak to people who interview for a living and find out about their techniques for getting subjects to open up. I've done thousands of interviews for radio mostly, and Decca's done a fair few too, but we both have different techniques and foibles. If you're a podcast exec who's interested, get in touch!
