Steve Laurence - Director

After taking a keen interest in photography Steve enrolled in a three year photographic course at The Guildford Technical University of Film, where he gained detailed knowledge of the medium. Working as a freelance photographer for three years his interest shifted to the moving image and how a story could be told in this format. After writing and directing a number of shorts this endeavour culminated in setting up the film company Falcon Productions with Ben Cannell and Martin Laurence. He continues to combine his directing and producer skills and is currently in development with a number of feature film projects.

 

 

 

 

Ben Cannell - Director of Photography

Ben grew up fortunate enough to spend a lot of time on and around the sets and productions within the advertising industry. From a young age, it was clear that Ben had picked up a lot of skills behind the cameras. Graduating at distinction level at Guildford Technical University of Film, Ben developed a sharp, artistic eye for composition and lighting of the moving image. Using his keen understanding of this art, Ben went on to work on a handful of short films and music videos. Collaborations with colleagues, Martin Laurence and Steve Laurence, saw the birth of a new, strong and creative force, including the acclaimed ‘RISE’ which Ben also directed. With a passion for storytelling, combined with his practical skills, Ben began writing for the screen. Now, having co-written 'Art House Massacre' Ben has become known for his visual style and creative camerawork.
