Production begins in early 2023, and the project is also in development as a feature film. Carl was a member of the final BFI Network x BAFTA Crew cohort scheme, and the inaugural ‘Momentum’ mentorship scheme through We Are Parable and Channel 4 in 2021. His short film ARACHNID (2020) was successful on the international festival circuit including BAFTA-qualifying festivals, and his short film HACKNEY DOWNS (2022) was selected for the Guest Programme at Aesthetica Film Festival.Carl runs short-form film and video production company LITTLE BOFFIN FILMS in London, making branded films and promos for international and household named clients, and has spent 12 years writing in broadcast entertainment TV.
