Alan Slack - Production and Directorial Consultant

Alan crash-landed on Earth sometime during the reign of Margaret Thatcher and has been trying to find a way off this rock ever since. Alongside his astral endeavours, he tried his hand at writing and found his new language oddly entertaining and so continued with it. As soon as he could produce the language vocally, he began acting out the stories from his home planet, and a few he made up since... He became a member of the National Youth Theatre and performed in a range of plays and films, and has now also jumped behind the camera (due to fearing that the red light was a laser) and started directing stories too. Alan recently joined the alumni of the International School of Screen Acting, learning everything about how his stories could be put onto shiny metal discs for all the world to see, hoping to put it all to good use; to make enough money to repair his starship and one day return home... and maybe even inspiring a few to follow...
