I feel very fortunate since 2015 I’ve been a full time South West based Film Producer. 
Being a visual storyteller in the medium of film, my work can encompass all aspects of production from concept to release, including research, direction, filming, editing and promotion. Above all I love my job and the collaboration in bringing stories to life to the big and small screen. Working with local , national organisations and companies - and the odd pop star in recent years. 

Through my documentary collaborative films I have worked with many heritage organisations in bringing history life through film.  From stories of local history, the Romans, the 1920s, Music legacy and adventurers. 

I have directed and produced large scale short films and in 2023 directed and edited a Dance Musical film for “Anything goes” for the Agatha Christie Festival. Since 2022 I have been the film producer for the festival - with clips from the festival’s films have appeared on the BBC and International T.V.

The English Riviera Film festival 

In 2015 I instigated the English Riviera Film Festival in Torbay and have served as its Director over the following years, coordinating a team of volunteers and growing the Festival from an ad-hoc one day event into an International event attended by delegates from across the globe. The Festival, now in its tenth year, has as its highlight an annual award ceremony recognising emerging film industry talent from the UK and around the world. The festival has shown over 350 films and hosted panels and film-related workshops with over 50 film industry professionals.
With an online film industry interview series with professionals across the film industry including 
In 2022 Star Trek Director Nicholas Meyer. 

Testimonial 

 “From the first meeting with John, I was reassured that he was very knowledgeable about his industry, he also really cared about our work and took time to find out more from us, so he could do all the appropriate planning and preparation ahead of filming. Throughout the process John has been professional, meeting all deadlines and communicating really efficiently; he also put our staff, volunteers and young people at their ease during filming. The finished product was excellent, I would highly recommend using Emberlense for any filming you need.”
