Inspired by real events… 1958. Private Elvis Presley risks everything by going AWOL from his West Germany base and secretly fleeing to vibrant London, where he meets with British rock’n’roll star Tommy Steele for one magical night of music, mischief, and shocking revelations.
Ebenezer Scrooge returns from the grave to haunt ‘Tiny Tim’ Cratchit – that once sweet boy, now twisted by tragedy into a bitter, old misanthrope. The spectral Scrooge must drag Cratchit through Christmases past, present and future to save him from a fate worse than death, while facing up to the unexpected consequences of his own redemption.
After a decade wallowing in the direct-to-video wilderness, a humiliated Hollywood star is offered the comeback role of a lifetime in an auteur’s new movie – if he can survive a volatile crash course from an irreverent British acting coach.
BIO

Hi! I'm Ben. I'm a writer. My screenplay, Such A Night, is in development with Nigel Cole (Calendar Girls, Made In Dagenham) set to direct, and I've just finished my new script and novella, Cratchit, a
Christmas ghost story that follows on from A Christmas Carol.
​
I started writing while working in theatrical marketing for mini-major STX. We released films including Hustlers, Spencer and The Mauritanian. I'm now Director, Content and Media Operations at global media company NME Networks.
