The point of living and of being an optimist is being foolish enough to think that the best is yet to come.

- Peter Ustinov


Optimist Creations is the production company I set up to pursue projects in film, video, theatre and across media.

Our first feature film, The Hour of Living, was completed in February 2012 and has since been nominated for the Basel Film Prize in the 'Best Feature' category and seen its Italian, New York and Australian festival premieres.

Our most recent theatre production was The Sonneteer which premiered at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2014. Our next feature, Soho, Night 9X9 is in development.
