Chris Tomkins (that's me) is an editor, writer, director, producer, musician, mobile content developer, photographer and other stuff.

Here's a brief description of what I'm doing at the moment.

GLOBAL ANT (New Media. Film. TV. Mobile.)
Liam Cody and I have been writing and performing comedy on stage, tv, radio and the internet for years under "The Gorskys". Global Ant is the umbrella company that produces not only Australias leading independent humour site, GORSKYS.COMedy, but also other entertainment such as "The Adventures of Terrence and Spider: Professional Bouncers" for the Comedy Channel.

Recently we have produced various bits and pieces for the mobile space, including callertones for Telstra and Earl The Phone Monkey video ringtones which will be distributed world-wide under the export navigator scheme.

READY TO ROLL PRODUCTIONS (Corporate Communications)
I'm currently directing and editing "corporate communications with a difference" with Geoff Paine and Carolyn Masel in our partnership known as Ready To Roll. We make videos that are interesting and accessible have created videos ranging from musicals set in Bunnings to cop dramas, mockumentaries and spy films.

See my video showreel to see some examples.

MAN BITES GOD (The Band - drums, vocals)
I have been playing with Man Bites God since the band's formation in 2001 along with James Hazelden (from The Drowning Hitlers) and Mark Woodward (from The Weekend People). We have released 3 singles and 2 albums and are currently working on our third release.

We have toured Australia on numerous occasions and played at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2004.

I have made a few music videos for the band, which can be seen in the video showreel.

PHOTOGRAPHY
I'm no professional, but I like to shoot stuff, primarily candid stuff. I mainly post my favourite images up on my gallery at deviantart and flickr.

WRITING
I'm currently working on too many projects at once, but there are three that are top of my mind at the moment.

The first is a feature, a crime comedy about a murderer who is killing comedy fans based on the punchlines of jokes. The second is a short film about two burglars who can't decide what to steal. The third is a tv comedy series about an ex-Big Brother inmate who'd do anything to stay famous.

Sadly, the comedy series I was developing based around a fictional government department engaged to control the spin on the war on terror looks like it will never be made.
