About: 
I always thought of heaven / As an endless summer field / Where birds fly across a sky / Of the deepest, purest teal / I've learned it's a kaleidoscope / A weightless katherine wheel / Where nothing's held by gravity / Save what we gravely feel
In this heaven full of heavens...

I'm a writer, script developer and film-maker working in the areas of film, theatre and music. Lyric writing a specialty. NZ producer Tom Rainey (who has worked with leading NZ musicians such as Dave Dobbyn, Bic Runga and Greg Johnson) described my lyrics as "refreshingly personable and appealing". Check out some samples at www.hallettandlang.com.

'Rolly Dial's Defining Moment' (Co-Producer, 2005), was a finalist in the Richmond Road and Flying Fives short film competitions (NZ). It also screened at the Belladonna (NZ) and Halloween (UK) short film festivals. Watch it online at www.nzshortfilm.com/film,3870.sm

An 18-minute short 'The Corpse Wore White' was recently completed. Two shorts, 'My Favourite Time of the Day' and 'Grand Union Canal' are currently in post-production. More projects underway, see www.micafilms.co.uk.
