CORNERBOY (2020)
Tommy Tyler, a bruiser of an MMA fighter gears up for the biggest fight of his career, but his meticulous pre-fight preparations are thrown off kilter when a schoolboy forces him to battle his inner demons instead.
I really enjoyed doing this two hander.
It was great to work with Josh Herdman as ‘Tommy Tyler’, and bring his little known MMA experience to the screen.
I enjoyed collaborating with Michael Jordan who plays ‘The Boy’.
Both Josh and Michael brought a lot of colour and bite to the film, above and beyond what I originally wrote in the script.
This is back where it all began; my first “proper” short film.
I directed Cornerboy in 2019 after penning the script in late 2018.
