Hey, I'm Tray!

Hey, I'm Tray!

From the Concrete Jungle to the suburbs of England, Tray usually finds himself in peculiar situations, some of which have him repeatedly shutting down judgements made based on his appearance which has led him to explore stories with underlying themes of identity and place in the world. He writes character driven comedy dramas that tugs on heartstrings and tickles funny bones. After years of hammering away at his craft, he made it to the top 14% of BBC Comedy Room, top 1% on Coverfly, #20 on The Red List and is a finalist in the Page International Screenwriting Contest.


His previously produced short films have played in festivals around the world.
