It’s been a while since the last update so there’s quite a bit to catch up on.

Firstly the ‘Reco Men’ shoot for Hanlau Films went really well. Mike recently saw an early edit of the film and was very pleased with how it’s coming together. To recap the film was shot on HD in May and also features Beth Winslet, Kemal Shahin and Jeff Rudom. It has been entered into the Raindance and London Film Festivals. More news to follow.

‘Hardcore’ was screened at Cannes back in May and the feedback has been promising. The screening was sold out and was standing room only and there may be some exciting news about the project soon. In the meanwhile the trailer is now online on the Big Brush Films website and you’ll certainly see Mike in a different role to anything he’s played before!

In June Mike worked on an ITN Factual production for the Discovery Channel. The programme ‘Nearly History’ deals with the first IVF baby, Louise Brown, and Mike played Dr John Webster who was the registrar at Louise’s birth back in 1978. The programme is due to be aired in America later this year.

An audio book narrated by Mike, ‘Little Boy Lost‘, is currently adorning the front cover of this months PC Advisor magazine. Written by W H Hudson it follows one small boys adventure through a magical kingdom.

Talking of audio books, Mike’s current project for the AudioBooksForFree.com website is ‘The Golden Fleece’ by Julian Hawthorne.

Finally, at the beginning of this month, Mike played a detective in the British comedy ‘In Your Dreams‘ which is due for cinematic release next year. The film stars Dexter Fletcher, Elize du Toit, Parminder Nagra, Linda Hamilton and Susan George.
