However, he continued to write and in 2006 he completed a full length play to be used as a vehicle for him and his colleagues. Before putting it on stage he decided to produce it as a film. Only a couple of months after wrapping, the stage version previewed as part of the Lambeth Riverside Arts Festival - all of which happened within seven months. <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> Freestyle Productions was first set up to helm these productions. Dan continued writing and acting throughout the following year and in January 2008 he began a collaborative filmmaking group to make micro budget short films under the banner of &#8216;Short Shorts&#8217;. Through this group Dan worked on various projects with budgets of no more than £30 and had the opportunity to meet some talented and enthusiastic individuals whom he would continue to work with on future projects, including making actors&#8217; showreels, which he directs too. <p> &nbsp;<p> Other than producing his own productions Dan works as a professional actor and fight director in all areas of the industry. He has also been an assistant director on six professional pantomimes and nine musicals, a director, a floor manager, stage manager, assistant stage manager, camera operator, vision mixer in a TV studio, casting director, writer, editor, designer, rigger, production assistant and best boy. Dan can also be seen in the film playing Jericho&#8217;s best friend Steve. <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> <strong>Lance Nielsen - Writer/Director/Co-Producer - To read an interview with Lance <a href="interview-lance.html">click here</a></strong><br /> Lance Nielsen is a British Film maker who was raised in South London.

Lance has directed two feature films, several shorts and documentaries and a number of award winning plays in the UK including  Signing On ,  The Marchioness Inquiry ,  Sticks and Stones ,  Hi I m Vince , and the musical  East End Of Chicago .  Waiting For Hillsborough won him critical acclaim and the best talent in new writing with the Liverpool Art and Entertainment awards. Following this he received Time Out s critics choice for his plays  The Victoria Climbie Inquiry and  The Marchioness Inquiry . He went on to win a Peter Brook empty space award for the black comedy play  Making Time which also achieved praise from the Evening Standard. His interest in the issues of HIV and AIDS began after the death of his closest cousin in 1991 from an AIDS related illness. Subsequently he would do voluntary work, fundraising and run workshops for a number of HIV charities, including Straight Talk, THT, Oasis North London, Body and Soul and Positively Women. Lance has also worked freelance on a number of productions, books and screenplays, including directing two plays for Tom Hardy s Shotgun Theatre Company and  ghost writing on a number of other productions.

He went on to write  Jericho s Walls Falling a drama documentary about the effects of the diagnosis of HIV on a young straight man living in London and  One Touch Away a screenplay about the outbreak of HIV in the American porn industry in 2004. He has also completed a number of other screenplays including  13 Seconds in Kent State ,  Ghana Girls , and  Pressure , about Colin Stagg, the man wrongly accused of killing Rachel Nickel. He also is currently writing a play as yet untitled about the friendship between an older gay man and a youthful straight man that he meets. <br /> <br /> Future plans include a restaging of  Sticks and Stones , largely with the same team that worked on  Jericho . Most recently Lance produced and directed the film adaption of his play  The Victoria Climbie Inquiry and plans to begin another stage to screen adaption of his  The Marchioness Inquiry . <br /> <br /> Lance runs the Gutted Film and Theatre Company, a non profit making organisation that strives to produce new and exciting drama projects that tackle social and political issues. </p> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> &nbsp;</p> </div> <div class="clear"> </div> </div> <div id="imageholder"> <p> &nbsp;</p> <p> <span class="clear"> <img src="images/clapper.jpg" alt="Jerichos Walls Are Falling" width="180" height="120" /></span><img src="images/collapse.jpg" alt="Collapse Scene" width="180" height="120" /><img src="images/date.jpg" alt="The Date" width="180" height="120" /><img src="images/jericho-and-steve.jpg" alt="Jericho And Steve" width="180" height="120" /></p> <p> &nbsp;</p> </div> <div id="footer"> <p> <strong>&copy; Copyright 2010 imon Barnes, Alex Coxall &amp; Lance Nielsen </strong> <strong>&copy;</strong></p> </div> </div> <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
