- I am a Film Producer and Film Festival Director based in Devon UK. My love of films started with my many visits to watch the latest film releases in Leicester Square in the 90s particularly inspired by the film the Rocketeer in 1991 to one day be a film Director.
After a few years of Directing / Producing some ambitious short films - I moved into becoming a full time film producer in 2015. Making films for local and national organisations . I've made a music video for Chesney Hawkes , lyric video for Howard Jones and collaborated on a music video for Tom Bailey that Premiered on Billboard magazine.
I continue to make short films and recently Directed and edited a music dance film with a great team for the 2023 Agatha Christie Festival. I also love documentary film making and have made many films on local history.
I've produced and helped on the marketing for other Director's films , most notably the 2017 feature film "Scareycrows".
In 2015 I instigated the first English Riviera Film Festival and have served as its Director over the following years, coordinating a team of volunteers and growing the Festival from a one day event into an International event attended by delegates from across the globe. The Festival, now in its eighth year, has as its highlight an annual award ceremony recognizing emerging film industry talent from around the world. The festival has shown over 250 films and hosted panels and film-related workshops with over 50 film industry professionals. Part of online presence of the Festival is online show which I've interviewed film makers from across the world from Indie to Hollywood - including the Star Trek film Director legend Nicholas Meyer.- IMDb Mini Biography By: John Tomkins
