About Me:
From an early age Graham has stood out from the crowd. With his striking auburn hair and encyclopaedic knowledge of smutty jokes he was always going to be noticed and he has grown up into a person that once you meet him, it's hard to forget him.
Graham has always had a plan to make his mark and has always has a madcap scheme or three in the offing -- once he finds something he wants to do he sets about it wholeheartedly. He is the one shouting the loudest, his hand is up highest, he is the squeaky wheel after the oil. He is a keen reader, and has a range of knowledge that includes (but goes way beyond) current affairs and copious amounts of pop culture. If you're ever at a house party with him, be prepared to find yourself deep in conversation about anything from the Crab Nebula to the politics of modern Africa to the films of Akira Kurosawa, via Jabba the Hutt, monkey butlers and Viz Magazine.
Graham's major passions are travel and cinema, both were cultivated from childhood. He was in Eastern Europe as the map was redrawn after the end of the cold war, and partook in some eccentric summer holidays road-tripping in a Cadillac through the country lanes of Wales. Since leaving Manchester University with a degree in Politics and Modern History, Graham has taken in more of the world - single-handedly travelling around the world in 2002, and picking up his sassy Aussie girlfriend on the way. A trip to Serbia's Exit festival last year took in Albania, Bosnia and Kosovo amongst others on a meandering return leg, bringing his 'country tally' up to a total of seventy.
Since returning to Liverpool, Graham has devoted his time to a number of enterprises, specifically his company, Hydra Studios. With Hydra he has written and directed a number of excellent short films and won the inaugural Liverpool 48 hour film challenge in 2006. He has also been heavily involved in the Liverpool music scene producing videos on his own and in collaboration with others for Hot Club De Paris, The Pipettes, The Dead 60's, Sandi Thom, (We are) Performance, China Crisis, The Sonic Hearts and filming for the release of the Arctic Monkeys second album, Your Favourite Worst Nightmare. He has also written numerous treatments for larger film projects and has developed scripts with the support of the UK Film Council.
Never one for the normal 9 to 5 lifestyle, Graham can normally be found beavering away on a project or painting the town red. Or (more typically) both at the same time. He is at his best with a deadline and a plan of how to get it done. Forever plunging headfirst into new experiences -- he's the guy who always says 'yes' and then worries about how he's going to do it afterwards. Anywhere he lays his head is home for the night. It is this spontaneous and unpredictable attitude that has shaped his life so far, given him some of his funniest stories and his rather eclectic group of friends from all over the world.
