In 2010 Graham undertook to film his first major feature, which was to be called George - a modern exploration of the life and times of Lord Byron - making liberal use of Byron's own verse and writing new Iambic pentameters to augment the film's contemporary setting.  Famous actors gave their time, including Sir Donald Sinden, Dame Janet Suzman and Fenella Fielding OBE. But, due to problems with junior cast members, the film never saw the light of day and sat in a series of hard drives gathering dust. During the Covid Lockdown, however, Graham reappraised the film and edited up 2 cine-poems from the original material and shot some new footage, creating - 1) The Curse of Minerva - a short film using the poetry of Byron's closet play Manfred starring the original senior cast and 2) Darkness - a straight rendition of Byron's gothic masterpiece narrated by Fenella Fielding.  Sending these two films out to the international film festival circuit proved his original idea had merit. Both films won several prestigious awards both nationally and internationally.
