Will started out in the film industry as a runner for the post-production house MPC in Soho, London. He quickly moved on to become a Producer/Director for an IP production company developing formats and documentaries for broadcast on network channels and internet streaming. His decision to go freelance to work on more personal film, documentary and art projects soon paid off with the success of his first independent production The Apology Line, an experimental art project that eventually became a short documentary he devised and shot with colleague and fellow film maker James Lees. The film went on to win a number of awards on the festival circuit including Prix UIP Best European Short Film at the Cork International Film Festival, and was shown at Cannes and Sundance 08. Since then he has worked on various short film and documentary projects that have ranged from Channel 4’s 3-minute wonder series and the BBC’s New Music Shorts scheme. He has just completed his first fiction short film as a writer/director, it was funded by the UK Film Council and will be screened at various film festivals through 2009/10.
