“Finding the nuance of parenthood and human connection on screen.”
That’s how James William Mellors describes the work. In We’re All Black Down Here, it takes him to a 1950s pit town, where a Black miner is welcomed underground and refused everywhere else.
Two shorts before this, both shot on 16mm. A debut feature in development. This is a director worth knowing early. Tyneside Cinema, Sat 5 Sept · MAC Birmingham, Sun 6 Sept · BFI Southbank, Sun 13 Sept

🎬 From Shadow to Set: Opening Doors for Emerging Directors
We’re shining a spotlight on the journey from watching the craft to stepping onto the set.

Join us on 13 September, for a powerful conversation on how emerging directors break into high‑end production — and how director shadowing can open real doors.

Through We Are Parable’s Sony‑supported Momentum programme, Dean shadowed John on the BBC drama This City Is Ours. Now they’re coming together to explore how access, mentorship and visibility strengthen the pathway for emerging directors.

This session brings together:
🎥 Dean Leon Anderson — writer‑director & S.O.U.L. Fest alumnus
🎥 John Hayes — director
🎥 Simon Maloney — producer
🗣️ Moderated by Valeria Bullo, production wellbeing & inclusion consultant

In partnership with Left Bank Pictures.
