When beloved newsreader Geoffrey Hammond is caught in a sex scandal, he turns to his publicist Larry to spin a story that might save his career.
As a media frenzy brews just outside Larry’s door, the two men engage in a tense game of manipulation, ambition, and truth.
With reputations hanging in the balance and the press demanding answers, the line between loyalty and self-interest begins to blur—forcing them to confront the age-old question: is any publicity truly good publicity?

“A ruthless burlesque on the terrifying hall of mirrors that the modern media has become… [Public Property] apes the crassness of celebrity culture, but at its best, pleads for the lost souls whom that culture chews up and spits out.”

FIRST CUT:
THE OTHER MICHAEL JACKSON
Documentary | Channel 4 I 2010
First Cut: The Other Michael Jackson is a Channel 4 documentary about British singer Mick Jackson, who co-wrote and originally recorded the hit "Blame It on the Boogie." The film explores how his version was quickly overshadowed by The Jacksons’ release of the same song, sparking a media-fueled “Battle of the Boogie.” Told through the eyes of Mick’s son, the documentary reflects on missed fame, music industry politics, and artistic recognition.
​
Mick Jackson and Sam Peter Jackson also appeared on BBC Breakfast together to promote the documentary.

Minor Irritations is a comedy about Ben, a struggling young actor stuck in a dead-end call centre job and reeling from a breakup. Still obsessed with his ex, Jay, now successful and living in New York, Ben impulsively flies out to visit, only to spiral further through a series of awkward encounters, flings, and personal crises.
With a cast of eccentric characters and a mix of one-liners and emotional angst, the play pokes fun at theatrical clichés while exploring the insecurities of creative 20-somethings desperate for love, success, and meaning.
