I am really excited about the Egypt screening. I have screening films in a lot of festivals but this one is the absolute best in terms of screenings, and getting fantastic locations. Submitting my film the the Swansea Film Festival 2007 was the best thing I have ever done.

AMRITSA has co-produced a new Russian / Welsh / English film entitled 'From Wales With Love', it stars Ukrainian actress Olga Romchuk as Natasha. The film was shot in and around Swansea during the Summer (!) of '07.

We join a new Russian bride and her Welsh husband on their wedding night. The film premieres at the Swansea Life Film Festival 2008.

Before founding this film production company I'd enjoyed an enormously varied career and I'm happy to include several Oscar and Golden Globe winners amongst my personal friends. Why is a Hollywood based producer calling his company Welsh Dragon Pictures ?? Like most people in this business I'm a huge romantic - exacerbated by my Celtic roots. Another reason is the vast reserves of talent and ability in Wales... just think about that for a moment. An area of just a 30 miles radius has given the world Sir Anthony Hopkins, Richard Burton, Catherine Zeta Jones, Ioan Gryfydd, Michael Sheen, Sian Phillips, Sir Tom Jones, Shirley Bassey and the first Welsh Oscar winner Ray Milland - whom I had the great pleasure of working alongside. I also won a Tinny here ! I' ve just completed shooting 'Christmas Isn't Presents' here in Swansea. Enjoy the trailer.
