About Ritchie

Hey there! I'm Ritch, I'm 40, I've been writing nearly 20 years, had a couple of pilots made and a feature film. I took a break from it all a couple of years ago when I was diagnosed with a stage 2 mxyoid lyposarcoma in my left thigh (man did that suck ass!) But I beat it and now I am in the process of writing, drawing and colouring my first graphic Novel!

Film credits include:

The Guardian (A-TURN FILMS): .tv/movie/the-guardian-2015-4 (2016)

The Last Day (POMM FILMS): ?v=fFjDGPBBhjY&t=2442s (made with a really, REALLY, modest budget) (2018)

The Norfolk P..I (A-TURN FILMS): ?v=kaQwW68CviM

In betrween that and the cancer I also ran an online radio station called Smile Radio, dedicated to promoting up and coming talent from across the independent music scene. (2018-2022)

Unique traits: I have a dark sense of humour, I love to solve a good mystery! I draw, I parent, I rock N' roll!
