The Wire Mountain (1995) (13.14 mins)

This hilarious musical shows that it is not just the ruthless Iron Baby and the stupid Suits who distort the world with consumerism but the worried Aware Lady, the innocent Balloon People and the bribable Gun People. “We buy and buy and unseen people die”. Yet these people also fight back with fair trade.

Reviews: The New Internationalist (2001) “Quirky, satirical and at times quite inspired in its odd humour. ‘Mum bum and cuddles’ are swiftly transposed on to the faceless corporate puppets determined to sell, sell, sell. Ditties like ‘The Aria of the Aware’ are priceless.”

David Grey, Village Films: “Amazing. Freud meets Marx meets surrealism”

Screened at Le Monde Diplo at the Institut Francais, London; Cinema Rare at the Tricycle Cinema, London,; on Sky TV; in BFI archive, London Screen, Mexico City 2011

Toothpaste (2007) (9 mins)

Which will win, the love and compatibility or the rows about how the other squeezes the toothpaste? Watch how the couple’s puppet bodies change as they get to know each other, make love, agree, quarrel about politics, films, music, his ex-girl and her mother. And toothpaste.

This film makes the psychological point that frequent testing is an important part of even the best relationship.

The characters felt real. I could identify with much of the dialogue and actions. I guess this comes from having experience in life. Your work had a strong and valid social comment (Bryan Gartside, End of Pier Festival director)

Eddies and Meanders (2010) (9.15 mins)
