Tiểu sử
Toby Amies is interested in exploring extraordinary points of view. He has made two feature-length documentaries that have played widely across the world at festivals, via streaming, and on television. He also makes short films about nature and the creative process for The BBC, Nowness, SkyArts, and commercial clients such as Chanel and Tate.
His first documentary The Man Whose Mind Exploded had a national cinema run in the UK and was acquired by Netflix in the US and Film 4 in the UK. His second, In the Court of the Crimson King is being released by Everyman cinemas in the UK and will be streamed via nugs in mid October 2022.
Before becoming a full time film-maker he worked for MTV Europe and USA as a VJ and producer as well as writing and fronting documentaries and shows for the BBC, Lonely Planet, Rough Guides, and SkyArts.
Thanks to his early work as a portrait photographer Toby has developed a first-person style of documentary that records his relationships with his subjects, allowing the audience to share in an unusual degree of intimacy with the people in front of the camera.
His King Crimson documentary is out in select independent cinemas worldwide in autumn 2022
