THE LAWRENCE GRAY EXPERIENCE

ABOUT ME

To sum up this Blog Spot:

It is all about wit, charm, sex, politics, history, travel, technology, literature, films, videos, people and places! In short, far too many things to be a sensible attempt at getting a huge audience. If I was, on the other hand, explaining how one could repair a Japanese Toilet, then the site would be buzzing with activity. But sadly, it's just a collection of my stuff.

To sum up me:

I'm a screenwriter, director, novelist, blogger, lecturer and international movie bit part walk on extra! See me being myself in Oliver Stone’s movie “Snowden” where I play a man running up a flight of stairs pointing wildly at a man he thinks he recognizes. It is a stretch of a role, but I pull it off magnificently.

I've got a few literary, screenwriting and film-making prizes to my name. I have writing credits for various UK and Singapore TV series that have come and gone. And I've a couple of prize winning novels and a collection of short stories that you can buy off this site. There is a feature film of mine that used to be on Amazon Prime that's now relegated to the obscurity of YouTube. Links are on the page

My YouTube Channel, http://youtube.com/lawrencegrayandhelen is a rag bag of vlogs and travel videos. My wife and I began making documentaries about Malaysia's Sultans, and then Covid stopped all production. But our video about the rise and fall of Johor Lama is really worth a watch and our little one about Johor Bahru is quite nice as well.

To conclude then, after thirty years of being one of Hong Kong’s sought after screenwriters and all round script fixer uppers, I became Johor Bahru’s most sought after screenwriter, documentary maker and lover of three words where one will do. Granted that in a world woefully pleased with its geographical ignorance, my addresses usually illicited the WTF response from Hollywood, I, however, like to think of them as having enriched my experience. And I am living in the hope that my present address in deepest Chelmsford is equally enriching and that the United Kingdom provides me with as many interesting experiences as Asia did. Whether it does or does not, I have always thought that a writer's main job is to make everything interesting, so even my disappointments will be written about with my usual wit and charm.
