SIMON MORRELL

Being Bullied, a true story & film producer wanted. Being Bullied is a true story, and one that I am looking for a producer to bring the story to the screen. It is based upon the award-winning book From Bullied to Black Belt and the sequel, An Everyday Warrior. We would also like a producer who can help raise funds to make the film.

Simon and the IRA. Some of you will know about Simon’s turbulent relationship with his father, Peter, and it largely stemmed from the man’s dishonesty and how he always seemed to put Simon in the firing line.

I was just six years of age when I saw my first "heavy", a mountain of a man, sent to our house to recover a debt my father owed.

Writing Books and Facing Adversity. In this short film for a Wednesday, Simon talks about what it is like to write books, and then how he discovered, with the help of his friend Geoff Thompson, that adversity can be one of our greatest gifts.

A Murder of Crows.Tommo, Thomas really, but Tommo is his preferred choice of name, leaves his place of work after a hard day of toil. It is a ghastly factory in an even more ghastly area, but it pays the way in the world. First, he is on the small machines and then, at the hands of a malicious foreman who thinks he should do better, the big machines. The ones that really test you, ones you are only supposed to work for a couple of hours, but no, his boss sees to it he is on t
