Wri/Dir. Jessica Hynes
Starring. Jessica Hynes, Shaun Parkes, Rhona Mitra, Christopher Fairbank, Anita Dobson, Sally Phillips, & Russell Brand
One of Peter Bradshaw's picks of the London film festival
"Award-winning actor and comedian Jessica Hynes has come up with something startling and intriguing. She directs and stars in this drama about a woman with many concerns in her busy life, so decides to hit back at life’s worries – by getting into boxing."
"evocative cinematography from Ryan Eddleston, who captures the endless expanse of the Folkestone shoreline, or lingers on the foreboding shadows of an underpass. Moments of warmth – green leaves, purple lavender – are stark in their rarity." Nikki Baughan
Shot in Folkestone August 2017

'The Super Recogniser' tells the story of Scott (Anderson), a seemingly normal young man with a very special talent. Thanks to his exceptional skills of 90% facial recognition, Scott has been recruited to work in a secret government initiative. Under the watchful eye of his tough-talking supervisor Agent Williams (Arya), this Super Recogniser is over-worked and under pressure as he spends hours seeking terrorists and criminals captured on CCTV cameras. However, Scott starts to question everything after he believes he sees 'himself' on the monitors.
Shot in London April 2017

Jacob Anderson (aka Raleigh Ritchie) has directed the video for his own returning single Time In A Tree, with an engaging concept for this soulful ballad - a reflection on his life, during one trip in a lift
"An anxious Raleigh Ritchie stands in the lift, grimly clutching a bonsai, being joined by other people - who are all representations of himself at different stages of his life, from 1 to 28 years old."

Bio
I’m originally from Lancashire & for the last 2 decades I’ve been living in Wales. After graduating from Cardiff University in Journalism, Film & Media, I started shooting documentaries & I was double nominated for my work on American Interior & Ivor Gurney & won a BAFTA Cymru for the latter.
Moving onto feature films, I shot Black Mountain Poets that was nominated for a BIFA & screened at SXSW, from there I shot Prevenge (dir: Alice Lowe) that screened at Toronto, Venice, BFI LFF & SXSW. Last year I shot The Fight (dir: Jessica Hynes) one of Peter Bradshaw’s picks of the ‘BFI London Film Festival’, in cinemas now & it has just been announced that Good Posture (dir: Dolly Wells) will world premiere at Tribeca Film Festival.
Also in post production, there are another 4 feature films, several short films & a TV series, that I’ve shot, working with directors Jacob Anderson, Rhiana Yazzie, Toby Cameron, Jen Sheridan, Jamie Adams & Naomi Waring.
If you think we’d be a good fit please get in touch, I’d love to read your script.
