Fight Coordinator
I had the privilege of advancing from Stage Combatant to Fight Coordinator for the production of The Bookies, written by Mikey Burnett and Joe McCann, produced by Kit Bromovsky Productions for the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe Festival. It was a joy to take what I'd learned and apply it in a new way with a brilliant team of actors, with special mention to the director, Eleanor Felton.

ANTHEM
I held a sword for the first time two weeks before filming. I knew nothing and did many things very wrong. I am still immensely proud of my part in this short film. I've joined the BASSC and changed my life forever thanks to Rowan and his crazy vision for a fully action student film.

A Quiet Conclusion
I don't win often, if at all. People seem to think I don't need validation, or that someone else could use a break more than I could use the win. Did you know that 'Toni' translates to 'worthy of praise'? I crave the stuff. So to be recognised at last, at all, still means so much to me.

The Show Must Go On(line)
During the pandamic two particularly driven souls, Rob and Sarah Myles, took it upon themselves to keep themselves busy and audiences entertained by performing Shakespeare's work on Zoom. All of it. Every week. Insanity. Of course I wanted to be involved.
2019
Shooting Clerks
I was cut, and recast, and cut and recast, and lovingly shoe-horned back in. Two guys in Dundee decided to make a movie about Kevin Smith's break-out film, Clerks (1994) and there we are in San Diego for ComiCon 2019 with MARILYN FREAKING GHIGLIOTTI for it's premier!
