Alan Entwistle

Alan Entwistle is a published author and former music journalist with Record Mirror. As a film-maker Alan has written and directed about a dozen short films, screened variously at Cannes, Edinburgh and on TV. In 2005 Alan's son Jack was born at 24weeks gestation, plunging the whole family into the scary world of Neonatal Intensive Care. The roller coaster continued for 18 months when Jack was christened in the Summer of 2006. Looking back over this experience, Alan began developing this unique true story into a feature movie, 24weekers. He completed the feature length screenplay over the next 4 years, directing a promo trailer for the movie in 2011. 24weekers is in advanced preproduction.
