A Filmmaker's Journal
I want to thank you all for reading Outrun the Doubt: Adventures in the Micro-Budget Film World — your support allows me to keep doing this stuff. I’ve thought about jacking this in a few times, but responses have kept me going (plus, this thing keeps me writing even when I haven’t got a project on). They have shown me that there may be some value in charting my (mis)adventures after all.

Thank you for helping get the word out about Outrun the Doubt: Adventures in the Micro-Budget Film World! In the coming days, I’ve got a round-up of my work in 2025 and a speculative list of novels I’d love to adapt. Plus, towards Christmas, I’ll be releasing a brand new short story entitled ‘Kent State’. I’ve also considered using this platform to interview other low-budget UK filmmakers. Lots to do!
Anyway, thanks, I salute you.
