This is where you can find Robert's own projects where he has written, directed or produced (or sometimes a combination of the three) a particular production.

Doctors(2006)
Robert directed three episodes of this English TV soap that aired in October and November 2006. I'll add the names of the episodes as soon as I can.

Skin Deep (pre-production)
As of September 2003, Robert has begun writing his own horror film script, but he says it will be a long time in development.

Curly Two (pre-production)
As of September 2003, Robert is still editing a feature script which a producer down at the 2002 Cannes Film Fest asked him to direct.

The Angel's Share (pre-production)
Robert is also working on the package for The Angel's Share, written by a friend of his, another feature which he is "dying to direct". Gerard Butler of Phantom of the Opera is slated to star in this production.

Trumps (2001)
Robert directed this short film written by Catherine Palmer. Trumps was filmed in the east of England, for the First Take TV series, a series dedicated to showcasing the work of writers and directors new to television in the Eastern region. Plot outline: "The simmering tension at a family Christmas dinner is heightened by a grandfather's senility. But has he got a trick up his sleeve?"

Starring Stephen Billington, who guest-starred in "Love and Death" in the Highlander: The Raven series.

Fish (2000)
Robert wrote and directed this short film. "Fish tells the tale of generations of amateur fishermen outwitted by a feisty old pike, and of a fishing rod passed down from father to son and father to son again." Starring Frances Gray, Bernard Joy, Therese Bradley, and Jamie Sives.

Great Britain (1999)
Robert wrote this feature film which he directed in the late summer of 1999.

Soldier's Leap (1998)
Rober wrote, directed, and co-produced this short (28 minutes) film starring Rupert Graves.

This description is taken from Rupert Graves' official web site:

    The film tells the story of a young, successful lawyer faced with the dilemma of choosing between his safe career or a more carefree lifestyle. He then learns a lesson from history to free himself.

    The title of the film - which was filmed in Edinburgh, Scotland - is named after "The Soldier's Leap" in Killiecrankie, where one Donald MacBean is said to have leapt to safety during the Jacobite uprising of 1698.

Robert wrote a part in this short film for his friend, Billy Boyd, who starred as the Hobbit Pippin in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Billy also acted in the live theatre production of Kill The Old, Torture Their Young with Robert.
