Welcome to the updated and enhanced website. September 2018 saw a celebration of fifty-five years in the film industry and a career which has found Paddy Carpenter shooting in no fewer than 30 countries and working with many major figures of the cinema. Recent years have seen a return to his writing roots with the publication to date of two books; the first a thriller which, while being a revealing take on the everyday madness of film production, is also a no-stone-unturned reinvestigation of the horror that was the Lockerbie bombing, identifying those actually responsible for the attack and those who covered-up the real facts. It's a story about a writing and selling a film script which is set to become a film itself. A commission to write a book on the history of police cars followed and several other projects, both fiction and non-fiction are in preparation. |
