London, 1851. Based on a true story. Dying of cancer and facing down early Victorian sexism, brilliant mathematician Ada Byron Lovelace makes one last desperate gamble to raise the funds needed to complete her life’s goal, to build the world’s first computer.

Production and Core Themes

My mission as a story-teller is to continually re-jig the past, reconstituting our origin myths in the search for alternative modernities. A case in point is ‘Ada’, which re-positions a brilliant 19th century female mathematician at the origin of our computer age. I’m always seeking to combine driving narrative with powerful original music, strong color palette and tight, tense dialogue.
