Born in Nottingham in 1984, Harry has been writing stories and making films for most of his life. Between 2000 and 2002 he studied Media at South Nottingham College, where he co-founded a small film production company called OTT Productions with Nick Archer and Kevin Woodhead. They went on to make various no-budget shorts and one no-budget feature (Dawn and the Dead). At the beginning of 2014 OTT Productions was retired and he co-founded a new company (Coalescent Films) with Nick Archer, Daemian Greaves, Bushra Greaves, Katie Ward, and much more Nottingham and East Midlands talent.

In recent years, he has taken a step back from filmmaking to focus on fiction and poetry, due to the lack of budget constraints involved. He still writes in Nottingham, where he often fantasises about planning elaborate heists that steal from the rich to give to the poor. He has had short stories and poetry published, but is yet to find someone to do so with his novella, despite his mum thinking it is great.
