[ direction]

A story begins with a blueprint. It is the architectural plan for a world, the emotional schematic for a character's journey. Here you will find a curated slate of my original intellectual property—television pilots, feature films, and new media concepts ready for development. Each project is a world I have built from the ground up, grounded in a unique perspective and designed to connect with a specific, modern audience. They are presented here as digital pitch decks to give you a comprehensive vision of the story and its potential.

[The Writer]

From the Concrete Jungle to the suburbs of England, Tray usually finds himself in peculiar situations, some of which have him repeatedly shutting down judgments made based on his appearance which has led him to explore stories with underlying themes of identity and place in the world.

He writes character driven comedy-dramas that tug on heartstrings and tickles funny bones. After years of hammering away at his craft, he made it to the top 14% of BBC Comedy Room, is an ISA Diversity Initiative Selection and is a finalist in the Page International Screenwriting Contest. His previously produced short films have played in festivals around the world.
