    R Bromfield

    I worked in the film business as a screenwriter and director for many years. My first feature film, "Love At First Sight", Dan Aykroyd's first film, was invited to Filmex in Los Angeles by the American Film Institute. I directed other movies including "Melanie" starring Glynnis O'Connor, Don Johnson and Paul Sorvino and "Café Romeo" starring Jonathan Crombie and Catherine Mary Stewart and a dark comedy, "Home Is Where The Hart Is" starring Leslie Nielsen, Martin Mull and my sister Valri Bromfield. Directed much children's TV. (full film and TV credits on IMDB)But I really wanted to tell larger, difficult, funny stories. I've written a few short stories and the darkly comic novels "At Large" and "Visitor". In 2015, my creepy little story “Hearing The Meat” won first place in the Plymouth Writers Group International Open Writing Competition in Plymouth, UK.
