About Me
I’m a creative film maker from Bristol, UK.

CHARLIE BIDMEAD
Charlie Bidmead
Hi i’m a photography degree student with a passion for creating abstract immersive imagery.
I love experimenting with the boundaries of photography and making others question the way they perceive them.
Over the years I have created photography in many different mediums. Such as audio visual experiences, books, 3d prints, a kaleidoscope and hologram.
I have recently shared my work at the cube cinema in bristol and in the sovereign centre in weston super mare.
I hope to continue evolving and creating over the course of my photography career.

About Me
I am a documentary photographer who enjoys questioning intimacy, the human condition and looking at the use of light used in renaissance paintings. Im drawn to photographing sensitive and evocative subject matter.
Being a single parent of 2, I have been researching masculinity and the pressures of growing up being identified as male. With no real strong masculine figure in my sons life, im using photography as a way of exploring masculinity.
My previous project looking at the quiet moments within my sons life, stretch over a year and resulted in a group exhibition in Bristol and a book

About Me
“My mind is like an internet browser. 17 Tabs are open, 4 of them are frozen and I don’t know where the music is coming from.”
If I told myself 8 years ago I will leave my Computer Science diploma and join a Film Degree I would think my future self was a mad man. But nevertheless here we are 7 years deep.
I had no prior knowledge about film only that movies existed and I watched them, I have discovered so much about myself through film and being able to find something I enjoy and want to make a career out of has never made me feel better.

"This project was originally under the title “Gui is dead” in reference to a fellow classmate who would be absent on a certain day of the week, the joke became that Gui was dead hence the phrase “Gui is dead”. Four projects sprung from the phrase and each project contained reference to clones. The project origins have not changed that much be it aside from year and setting the core values still remain."

Kraig TaYLor-Bryant
About Me
My one goal in the film industry is to educate, to tell a fictional story that reflects reality, or actually tell a real story through documentaries. I believe the best way to do that is to put your own creative spin on it, to keep it experimental and engaging.

Mark Tapley
About Me
I’m a guy who likes movies and likes to make movies. I particularly enjoy editing, but am always interested in gaining more experience in the various roles on a film set. In filmmaking, there is always more to learn and different kinds of production to experience, for which I have the enthusiasm and am eager to see and do as much as I can.

Now Screening; Odeon Weston
A mini-documentary about the unique architecture and Compton Organ in the Odeon Cinema in Weston-super-Mare, England.
Experimental media
For an experimental media project, I made a series of collages inspired by the work of Coldwar Steve. They are meant to look like Doctor Who DVD covers, with each cover being a satirical cut-up based on the sociopolitical themes that were used in classic episodes of Doctor Who (From the left: The theme of the ‘The Daleks’ was the fear of radiation, the theme of ‘The Dalek Invasion of Earth’ was discrimination and the theme of ‘The War Games’ was peace and war). Contrary to popular belief, Doctor Who has always been politically inspired.
This is a less subtle episode to feature a political theme, but this episode of Doctor Who came out only two years after the US and UK invasion of Iraq.
Self-isolation Film
During the Covid-19 pandemic, I was tasked with making a film while self-isolating, so I made a film about self-isolating.
Climate Change Video
Coverage of the climate strike held at Weston College Loxton Campus.
Rendezvous
A suspense thriller short film, about an assassin who betrays her employer.
Dirigo Film Festival
I participated in the organisation of the 7th Dirigo International Student Film Festival, which was held online due to the national lockdown caused by the Covid-19 Pandemic. As one of the directors of the festival, it was my job to watch and review all of the student films that were submitted. I then debated with my fellow directors to shortlist the finalists and pick a winner for each category, and then arranged he running order of the final program of films.

About Me
As a photographer, I enjoy documenting people and the landscape. I like to tell a narrative within my photos whilst evoking various emotions and feelings.
I use photography as a means to express myself, documenting the world around me. My goal is to make photographs into a story and is my firm aspiration to become a full-time professional photographer.
