Please note:
It March 2010 it was brought to my attention that journalist Guy Patrick of The Sun newspaper was intending to run an article about my fiction drama films and that he would attempt to sensationalize this video in particluar as "offensive". If his article, or any other regurgitation of his claims, has brought you to this page then I invite you to watch the film below, while bearing in mind that much more sexually and violently explicit films such as Seven, Hellraiser, A Clockwork Orange and The Exorcist are commercially available in Britain. Such controversial films not only receive advertising space in newspapers, but are often given praise by film critics employed by newspapers. I'd also like you to consider that the 2006 James Bond film, Casino Royale, featured a sexual torture scene far more offensive than anything in this video, yet the film received a 12A certificate.
I believe Guy Patrick's article is simply part of a pre-election mud-slinging campaign for the purpose of attacking the UK Independence Party, of which I had been actively campaigning for. To that effect I invite you to read my article New Labour New Fascism New Racism, which explores many of the pitfalls of our EU membership and hence my reasons for campaigning against the major parties in Britain that refuse to give the British people a referendum on our EU membership.
In addition, the claim that I attached UKIP tags on the end of my fiction films is nonsense, as the videos embedded below demonstrate. Note they have been posted for two years on Youtube. A full response refuting The Sun's story (and their source Simon Boyle of Mercury Press in Liverpool) can be read on my Press page.
part one
Synopsis:
While engaging in his routine masochistic activities at a high class brothel, Mr Stevens finds himself blackmailed by his dominatrix. Shackled and half naked, he is photographed and filmed and told that if he does not cater to his captors every whim then the evidence will be used to destroy his career and his family.
Mr Stevens attempts a houdini style escape, which sees him climbing walls at deadly heights, sneaking through dark corridors in bizarre disguise and eventually being chased by armed gangsters and viscious guard dogs. Can he steal the evidence and escape with his life or is there another sinister element to his dilemma?

Production notes:
This was a very difficult film to make due to it's location requirements. Miniature sets, split screens and other camera tricks were used to create the convincing appearance of a filming location that was otherwise unnattainable on the films budget. One particular room was redressed and relit repeatedly to pass for four separate locations in the film.
