He moved on to join a small independent film production company called Tarantula, starting as a PA and becoming a Producer, creating title sequences, promotional material, commercials, programme formatting and ideas generation. Mike then joined the prestigious TAP scheme at the BBC, working for BBC Drama, BBC Sport and BBC Radio 4 – producing on Thinking Allowed. He then joined the BBC marketing department, making internal and external marketing films. He has worked in corporate filmmaking alongside his work at The Northern School of Art and in the last few years, has started directing and acting in theatre. This includes The Game’s Afoot and Dad’s Army, collaborating with Production design and Costume on the productions, which were a sell-out with strong reviews.
