ASK & DISCUSS INDEX

6 years, 8 months ago - Karl Falconer

Hi everyone - I'm a director looking for a producer to team up with to help get a new short film off the ground. I'm an award winning director with a great track record and I'm looking to get a team together for a new project, in order to submit to BFI short film funding and then to use as a calling card for festivals and career development.

I've been directing for over 10 years and have been supported by figures including Stephen Fry and funded by the ArtsCouncil. My 2013 short film, The Big Day, made the Official Shortlist of the Virgin Media Shorts awards and I have been listed as a director to watch. I've staged and screened work across the UK and Ireland with a specific focus on championing Northern, female and working-class voices. I've collaborated with the Royal Shakespeare Company and am hugely passionate about creating new opportunities for people in the media industry.

Money is always a harsh reality though and I'm now living in London and teaching film to mature students. I really want to get back into filmmaking after a bit of a break away and I've written a script that I believe has the potential to act as a calling card for the cast and crew. As I've only been living down South for 6 months my contacts and connections down this way are relatively scarce, hence the callout. I'll eventually be looking for all sorts of collaborators, but my first step is to find an ambitious producer who can help me bring this project to life; and to start a relationship that can hopefully lead to future things.

There's some videos on my profile, or you can access my director's showreel here:

Please do pop up if you'd like to get in touch; I look forward to it!
