Born and raised in the UK, Barry has had an oddball career - periods of education (to a postgraduate Diploma in Film Studies) intercut with a series of ‘McJobs’ (roof-rack assembler, computer helpdesk, beer bottler, reject furniture salesman, draughtsman, goods-inward operative, a bouncer - briefly. . .), all the while writing on the side. Placed as a finalist and winner in a number of competitions, now he has a portfolio of feature scripts, spinoffs and associated shorts - four of the latter having been filmed. He's SO FAR had a purchase offer on one feature script, an option on another and a shopping agreement on a third.
