For a film director, Jade Carmen had an unorthodox start, as a professional musician (for 15 years). A twist of fate meant a change of career when he broke three fingers, and subsequently moved into the moving picture world. What followed was a highly successful, 11-year career behind the camera as a Camera Operator, Director Of Photography and Director. His credits extend across film and television, from “ Ali G”, “Dennis Pennis” to documentary films on AIDS and long-form features for the Natural History, Discovery and Natural Geographic channels.

A keen scriptwriter, Jade has written and directed a number of award-winning short films in addition to "Eating Dust”. His first screenplay “Piggy Bank” , won the London Short Film Festival. “Piggy Bank” was also short–listed for the last four of the British Short Film Festival, while Jade subsequently received a prestigious Kodak Film scholarship. The short was repeatedly broadcast on Channel 4 and arguably launched the film careers of its two leading actors Paul Kaye and Hamish Clark. Jade’s next short “
