Owen is a London based filmmaker who loves to cry in the cinema (he’s become very good at hiding it behind a sneeze). The worst offender was likely Mad Max: Fury Road or Captain Underpants: The First Epic Movie… but he’ll never tell you which moments made him weep.
He has a penchant for telling cinematic stories with a character focused, emotional core - if there’s a space to be melancholic, he’ll make it happen and when the moment’s right, bring in the music for goodness sake.
He was nominated for the Lo-Budget Mayhem award at London Short Film Festival for his film A View From A Window. He lost out on the award to an amazing short about a dying fly, though he didn’t cry during that film so the jokes on them.
His surname comes from his French ancestry (see the use of the word ‘penchant’ above). Whilst his middle name; Routledge, comes from his beloved Geordie mother. But Owen grew up near Cambridge and has no right to call himself French or a Geordie. So we’ll just say he’s a mixed-breed. Maybe a ‘Frendie’.
Owen is now signing this off in the third person, because that’s what the other cool creatives do.
Owen says “thanks for reading”.
