‘Sarah’s War’ is Brian’s second full-length play, now a feature film.
Although written as a play, Brian always had the idea that it could be a film as he believes that if a script has the narrative traction to hold a live audience, then it would also have legs as a film.
Brian’s overriding passion is in storytelling, and would love to create a feature film of his first full-length play ‘Estate Agent’.

Dave Skertchly’s film ‘Mary Rose, the The True Story’ was inspired by the cartoons made by Oliver Postgate and Peter Firmin back in the 1960’s.
It tells the story of why the Mary Rose sank in front of Henry the VIII on that fateful day in July 1545 and we find out that it was “true loves story…strange but true”.
