My name is Alun and I was born in the Twin Peaks like village of Pont-Rhyd-Y-Groes (near Devil's Bridge), Mid Wales.

After wondering my way through school (first the Welsh school of Penweddig, then the English of Penglais, both in Aberystwyth) I met and fell in love with my fiancé in Coleg Ceredigion while i dabbbled in psychology and then performing arts.

Many years past and I worked extremly hard in a band called Johnny Narcissist (www.myspace.com/johnnynarcissist) but as band line up changed atleast every year the pressure of holding the band up single handedly became too much and after being signed to Madcap records in 2003 I left the band swearing never to return to music.

Returning to University in Cardiff I transferred to a course in BA (hons) Design for Interactive Media in which I 'found myself' during a Film Making module,

Since then I have directed and filmed many projects under tha banner of The All Star Friends with my friend Gareth, winning several awards and festivals along the way.

I hope you enjoy my work!
