Hey everyone. I'm a professional actor, filmmaker, voice over artist and editor. Sharing what I've learnt over 30 years of acting on TV & film sets all over the world, in a fun, inclusive way. Anyone can make a movie from the creativity we carry inside us. I love film. Making it, editing it, watching it. And The Movie Squad is a way of sharing my passion for it with the young filmmakers of today! We all have the means to make movies now in our pocket. So don't wait....CREATE!

The kids had great fun making a film and bouncing ideas off each other through the day. They also learnt quite a few movie tricks!

I had a great time on Movie Squad. We started by putting our ideas together at Le Petit café. We quickly sorted out a plot and allicated roles. And then we went for it! Straight into filming and acting. I loved it!

It was a great immersive experience. We had so much fun - to be part of the whole process and make something we're really proud of.

The movie squad is such a fun way for kids to explore their creativity through film, with complete freedom to create their own narrative. We loved seeing what the kids came up with. I wish we had a movie squad for adults!
