Evolution Producing House
Established in 2017, the company is a cross city flexible producing house with a home hub based in Cardiff. I embarked upon creating the company with the aim to facilitate, produce, consult, encourage & enhance artists/emerging artists work; in a theatre or film discipline, then deliver that work to professional platforms.
Since then Evolution has gone strength to strength, producing Ann Rolls Green (2018 feature film), Skinny World (2019), Ragtags (2019) & Cafe Tropicana (upcoming novel adaptation). Having successfully negotiated funding and a contract with Amazon Prime Video the company is able to fulfill its aims to deliver its work to professional platforms.

In.Film Society (University of Bristol)
InFilm is a filmmaking and media production society at the University of Bristol for all those who want to create films, create videos with friends, and even begin their dream of entering the film industry. In 2017, we looked at the current state of our Film and Television course at the University of Bristol and decided we weren’t being taught enough practical on set skills. With a lack of availability of equipment and a lack of knowledge about who wants to actually make films in their spare time, we would cobble together productions an hope for the best. Then it hit us. Why not get organised? A society run by the members for the members dedicated to producing and filming WHATEVER WE WANT. After all, isn’t that why we chose to do film in the first place?
