Jason King

Since graduating from Newport Film School Wales in 1999 I have successfully set up and ran a production company ‘Those People Productions‘ and a community interest company Hearthstone Ways. I have produced a number of short films with funding from the Arts Council Wales. Many of the films were nominated for a number of awards including shortlisted for a Bafta Cymru. I have directed several lottery funded Short Films that have been broadcast and screened on TV and cinemas around the world. I was awarded a large sum of money to write my first feature film and went on to be selected to attend the ‘Berlin Talent campus‘ as one of the best “Up and Coming” filmmakers of the world. I was selected as one of twenty-five UK filmmakers to be awarded a professional mentor, as part of the ‘Guiding Lights‘ scheme. My mentor was Christopher Hampton. Currently, I work as a freelance filmmaker and photographer working with local companies and art organisations, providing promotional and training films.
