An
award winning writer/director Craig was born in Cardiff, Wales 1969. As a seven
year old he became passionate about film making after his parents gave him a
Super 8 camera for his birthday and he quickly set about making "film
stars" of all his family and friends.
He
first started writing as a teenager when he joined the Orbit Youth Theatre
Company gaining his first experience of acting, writing and directing.

time he was one of the first people in the UK to use them. Spending his time at
