About John …

I write and produce work across media forms including theatre, video, film and multiscreen installation. Current projects include a podcast series (‘The World in Performance’) and two narrative films developing from completed pilots (‘Hindsight’ and ‘The Nixie’).

My teaching and research has explored film scenography, screen performance, expanded cinema, documentary film, the UK film industry, and modes of practice teaching and research. This work is frequently developed through studio workshops with practitioners, students, and community groups.

Consultancy includes membership of national academic research assessment and evaluation panels (RAE, REF), a number of university departments and other bodies, including the Department of Culture, Media and Sport. Critical work has been published in academic books and journals.

I was a founder board member and sometime Chair of the Watershed Media Centre, Bristol, and Watershed Television Ltd., founding editor of the Journal of Media Practice (Sage), and Emeritus Professor of Film & Screen Media Practice with the Faculty of Arts at the University of Bristol, UK.
