Since leaving the National Film & Television School back in 2004 I've been paid a mere total of £6,500 as a professional writer/director for all the work I have done to date. Less than £1000 was for directing. The feature film business is very hard to break into. It's a game of chance where your skills and talents do not necessarily reflect your success and where you rarely get paid.
Having spend too long solely focused in this industry, I have decided to look for directing work in television drama too. It's producing some incredible shows at the moment that suite my style and taste (The Killing, The Bridge, Borgan, Spiral, Wallander, Sherlock, Accused and Luther being some of my favourites). Lets hope those television drama producers like my work enough to let me come and play. What you think?
