Gareth was one of eight writers attached to the CBBC New Voices Initiative.
He worked in various production roles for companies such as Ecosse Films and ITV, culminating in a year as a Unit Manager for ITV Studios Manchester. He completed a two year MA in Screenwriting at the NFTS where his short animation Damned won an RTS Award.
His feature length screenplay, Jean, was selected for development on the Regards Croises development scheme, an Anglo-French workshop with stints in London, Paris, Dinard, and Marrakech. He was also selected by World Film Productions for an eight week television writing internship and was chosen to act as a screenwriting mentor for the BFI Academy 2014 scheme.
