“Video Diary – A Man Called Smythe” (Northern Misfits 2003). SCI-FI COMEDY. At the time of Roddy Smythe’s mysterios death in Lower Titterington, media student Ulrika Norge (Astrid Brogan) was following the production unit with her own video camera. What she captured on tape was a production in crisis, a director on the verge of a nervous breakdown and a crew far too busy waging war on zombies, ghosts and aliens to worry about anything as trivial as finance, production meetings and ratings. With special make-up effects by BAFTA-winning make up artist Tristan Versluis (“Sweeney Todd”, “From Beyond the Rave”), the film charts the highs and lows of Roddy Smythe’s career, with exclusive clips from previously banned investigations. Starring Peter Slater, Mark Strange, Noel Croke and Astrid Brogan. Written, produced and directed by Mark Howard.

Currently in post-production – “Roddy Smythe and the Shadow of Terror” (GCH Entertainment 2009). Feature. “Roddy Smythe Investigates Zombies” (GCH Entertainment 2009). 30 minute TV episode. Both titles written and directed by Mark Howard. Both titles feature Mark Strange as Soundman Geoff.
