Four Weeks to Find a Girlfriend
(Channel 4, 2001)
"It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me reassess my life as a man." - FHM
In a brazen and self-flagellating attempt to launch my career as a director, I shamelessly turned the camera on myself in a genuine attempt to find a girlfriend.
Over four weeks I ploughed through a Channel 4 budget, spending most of it on alcohol to calm my nerves and talk to women, filming the whole sorry mess in the process.
To everyone's surprise, not least my own, the film had a wildly unexpected and undeserved happy ending.
