A Touch of Colour

“Eddy is a 21-year-old documentary filmmaker based in Manchester, UK. After completing a degree in TV and Radio Production, he discovered a passion for documentary storytelling and is now pursuing an MA in Documentary Production at the University of Salford.

His undergraduate film Bound by Blood, a raw and intimate portrait of bare-knuckle fighter Dean Hunt, explores themes of mental health, discipline, and identity within one of Britain’s most misunderstood subcultures. The film is set to be released later this year.

Eddy’s latest short documentary, A Touch of Colour, is currently on its debut festival run. Created for a module in his final year of university, the film follows artist Bob Bernard, who, after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s, finds renewed purpose through painting.”

Ben is a factual filmmaker from Manchester whose recent projects include ‘Bound by Blood,’ a personal insight into the world of bare knuckle boxing though the eyes of one of the fighters, and ‘A Touch of Colour,’ an award winning documentary focusing on a painter who has found solace in his Parkinsons through his art. Ben’s films focus on fringe humans and often highlight weird and wonderful people in and around the North of England, sharing their untold stories through hardship. Recently he has worked on set with a couple of ent-factual programmes for Channel 4.
