Last year I was involved in making a new film called 'The Oxford
Murders'. I was on a two night film shoot from 5pm to 5.30am (you might remember I was a little tired for school on those days!)

Anyway, the film is now out in cinemas and the trailer is below.

 

The film stars John Hurt and Elijah Wood (from Lord of the Rings). I play the trombonist in the orchestra when the timpani player gets murdered!  Dun Dun Darrrrrr!.....
