I was obsessed with making films from a very early age and when I finished college, I went to work for a local TV station.

www.wilsonrunnin.co.uk Here is a short Action Film I worked on recently, working closely with major A List Actors such as Dev Patel from The Last Airbender, and Pamela Anderson. Myself, Sam Parham & Chase Armitage performed the chase sequence with Dev Patel on the London roof tops, playing the roles of High Powered Bankers, co-ordinating our movement with the Stunts Team, Producers and Directors to get the shots perfect. Nokia’s highly anticipated short film, ‘The Commuter’ staring Dev Patel, Pamela Anderson, Charles Dance, Ed Westwick and shot entirely in mobile HD on the Nokia N8 smartphone. The groundbreaking film, directed by the McHenry Brothers, was shot in just four days with the Nokia N8 using no back up cameras, with the streets of London and St Albans providing the backdrop to Nokia’s story about one commuter’s eventful journey to work. All credit goes to Nokia, McHenry Brothers, Producers, and the whole team involved to make the film.
