Drake's first production was Where Were You (2010), a short web series in the zombie genre which was made for just under $150.[2] The series explores the ways in which a real-world pandemic would affect the modern world by looking at seven key interwining stories at different stages of the infection. WWY was a finalist in the inaugural competition of Movie Network's Movie Extra WebFest.[3]
Animals (2012), Drake's first feature film, began shooting in Newport on January 14, 2012,[4] starring Sweeney Young, Melissa Howard, Jeremy Kewley, Reg Gorman and Scott Brennan.[5]
