Four Mad Weeks

Alan is a founder member of FMW Films and has  been co writer on their first 3 features, Peacock Season, The Trap and  The Man You’re Not. He also directed The Man You’re Not, which was based  on his novel of the same name.

Other  writing credits include: feature film, Castle Bay and TV comedy series,  Blissland (in development), both co written with James Wren; the  thriller, Exchange; and the comedy thriller, The Reluctant Understudy.

Alan worked as an actor for 25 years and has played lead roles in London’s West End, UK tours and European venues.

As  a theatre director his credits include the award winning sketch show,  Greedy, Comedy Bitch, The Eggman, Umbrage Swain and the Magical Diamond  of Ramtutiti, The Dog-Eared Collective, The Grandees and Priest Hole.

Fergus  March has written, produced, directed and edited hundreds of hours of  broadcast television, film and online content. Most of this was comedy,  although Fergus also took a couple of years to concentrate on  environmental film-making. Once the realisation dawned on him that jokes  make the world a far better place than any videographic treehugging, he  resolved to come back to putting silliness onscreen full-time. 

Fergus  used to be an actor, enjoying a long stint on various West End stages,  including playing the young lead in a very popular Abba musical. But we  don't talk about that. Throughout his career Fergus has been privileged  to work with a tonne of amazing comic talent. His favourite thing is  stifling a laugh from behind the camera so as not to ruin a shot, and  has devoted his life to being in that position as often as possible. He  is proud of all his work, but becomes gibberingly nervous when  presenting it to an audience, even if the entire audience has promised  to laugh beforehand. One day, 

when the budget is right, Fergus will make the perfect comedy with FMW. It will be awesome.
