I am UK based and having been a professional actor for 10 years with credits in TV, theatre, radio and film, I launched a second career as a scriptwriter before establishing Arakan Creative in 2009, a theatre and film production company.
Having recently produced an award-winning debut feature film, 'Freesia', I now currently focused on developing a film division under Arakan with aims to raise finance to produce more independent feature films. Alongside this I am also available as a freelance director, scriptwriter, story/script consultant and school workshop facilitator.

Writer Victoria is a teenage girl who is innocence and purity incarnate...or so it seems. Forced into a life unbefit for a girl her age by her heroin-addicted mother, Victoria must battle both her mother's demons and her own under the sinister watchful eye of their dealer. Addiction, theft, and prostitution are all at play...But there are forces beyond anyone's control that watch over them all. Written by Zaid Adham
