John lives and works in Manchester, in the North West of England and has over 40 years experience working across the UK’s Media Industries. He continues to be active in a number of related fields.
Currently he wishes to ‘raise his profile’, publicise his skills and knowledge and become involved professionally in new projects. In addition, having led such a varied and creative life he has decided to create a website to share details of the many fascinating projects he has produced over the years and to highlight his current projects.
Pitfalls?
John is well aware of the pitfalls.
‘Of course I realise that it’s a fine line that separates self-archiving from vanity publication. This website will attempt to stay firmly on the side of the former.
As I don’t have an army of students beating a fevered path to my door begging me to be the subject of their PhD dissertation viz.
‘The great unseen films and life of JC, blah, blah, blah…..’
Consequently it has fallen on me to attempt such a venture, a sort of a PhDIY if you will. I hope you enjoy my attempt.’
