On The Dragon Detective

The Dragon Detective is my passion project. It grew organically with my passion for filming and for the environment and mythical creatures. It’s a perfect combination of Fantasy and imagination, against the harsh realities of life. We all need a bit of escapism and this is a feel good film where fantasy becomes reality.

It’s exactly the sort of film we need now. A triumph of the ordinary in an extraordinary world!
