And Roland Manookian …
Behind the scenes – Roland Manookian
Who hell me?
I'm a UK scriptwriter who's had nine feature films produced. I've also had some bits and bobs on TV and co-created the first smartphone broadcast, app-drama series, PERSONA.
Now in its thirteenth year, this blog is mostly a chronicle of my career; but it's also an insight into the grubby bits of writing no one really tells you about.
Reality here has been stretched, altered, bent and completely ignored to make my life funnier, more interesting or just different for the sake of it.
Please don't take offence.
More me
You can email me here: phill@phillipbarron.co.uk

A new ... service(?)
Probably not the right word.
I've become oddly curious about talking to new people on the phone.
If you find yourself at a loose end and fancy a chat, email me and we'll see if we can arrange a phone call.
It can be about writing or not. Whatever you like.
