MEET OUR PEOPLE





MAL WILLIAMSON PhD.



Award-winning director, author & changework therapist.



A filmmaker who has worked in community and education settings all his life and now creates improvised feature films for festivals and clients alike.


He has taught media & filmmaking in four different universities and his research brings cinema and therapeutic techniques together, especially around cognitive eye movements.


With prior award-winning multimedia businesses you can be sure of careful client attention that has seen him train entrepreneurs nationally for the British Library. He has also published a poetry book written after his 21-year-old son died.



LYN ACTON



Singer, bandleader, knitter & host with the most.



If you visit our studio in Kingston upon Hull you will likely meet Lyn - providing friendly hospitality. She also manages our accounts and other office essentials so always be nice :)


Lyn's music career has included a sell-out album launch at the jazz mecca of Soho Pizza Express and enjoying a special theatre night with her musicians from around the country with on-stage interviews and other tributes.


She records with some BBC 6 Music faves so we rely on her to recommend classic and most recent excellent music for your movies. And of course she supervises all our music productions.



CRAIG MARRIOTT



Aerial filmmaker & photographer.



With a background in TV production on "Heartbeat" and a pilot's license since 1991, Craig is the ideal person to elevate the use of drones to a new level. Pun intended!


We are chuffed to have him work with us regularly when locations, business premises & homes become a treasured part of your movie.


Other times you will find him setting up lights or perhaps organising transport cos Mal doesn't drive. A recent highlight was using his aero-engineering background to fix someone else's drone... with a twig!





WHAT IS A LEGACY MOVIE?





A legacy is the long-lasting impact of a person’s life or work or relationships.


Now what is it like to make a movie of your legacy? To have a recording of your life story. For many this is a wonderful experience and films about family are always significant and treasured.


Whether for a significant birthday, newly retired or soon to reach your horizon.


We have all heard from friends, loved ones and colleagues who say “I’m writing a book.” The stock answer is of course “Oh really? Neither am I.”


Because it is hard to write a book – the hours of staring at the screen or paper, the changes you might make, structuring all those stories in your life, the time it takes when you could be doing something more exciting!


And then you also have the responsibility! To get it right. Set the tone, include the right people, the right events and say it just right. We all know how misunderstandings happen even in a text message or a greeting card!


So make a film.


Legacy Movies of Yorkshire will help you sit and chat. Everyone gets that! And we take the responsibility. And this is actually you talking so everything you say is perfect – and the nuances come over well. The humour, the feelings, the honesty, the struggles and joys are all there in a life story recording.


Then we add your photographs and old video recordings – music that suits and how about crafts and artworks you made, hobbies and travels? All of these are edited together in a professional engaging structure to make a movie that people will forever treasure and enjoy.


When made by an award-winning independent film director the opportunity is to elevate your thoughts and feelings to a new level. Your audience of friends, family & colleagues will appreciate the real you because they will understand this movie – it is like your own Netflix documentary!


Our life story is important to the ones we love – and your family’s future generations. For Legacy Movies of Yorkshire your life story is important to the world! We love to make documentaries of real people’s lives and explore what they love to do and say. It is so important we capture and share to those we love what matters most to us all.


Pay it forward is sometimes said these days. And how better than to capture what your life has been about so far? Tell your stories and share your passions, your favourites and share your points of view in the best way ever – the movies!
