Speechless, an outdoor projection and streaming media website was commissioned by Hull Time Based Arts in 2003, and included Mother Nature, a short video shown at Cambridge Film Festival and Werklietz Biennale. Recent broadcast films include his short dance film, Resistor (BBC2) and Donut (Channel 4), which also was shown in installation form as the inaugural show for The Image Gallery in Bedford, at the Science Museum in London, the Moving Image Centre, Aukland, New Zealand, Centre for Contemporary Art, Glasgow and Cornerhouse, Manchester.

In 1999, Tate Britain, London, invited him to present a video retrospective.
