Profile

I am currently working on several projects related to Adaptation and cross-cultural adaptation.
In 2020 I received Priority Research funding from Sophia University for a project titled Adaptation and Regional Regeneration.
This project is a joint research, international project and involves completion of a documentary about a fishing village on Sado Island and the production of a Japanese language adaptation of Dylan Thomas' Under Milk Wood.
The project is a three year project, beginning in 2020 and in association with AAS. (The Association of Adaptation Studies.)
As well as my interest in Adaptation Studies I continue to write original fiction scripts and am currently preparing two feature film projects.(Proposed theme of joint or funded research)
Representations of Immigrants in British Cinema
