Joseph Archer is an independent filmmaker and co-founder of Silicon Gothic Films.
He will talk through the process of making his directorial debut Snapshot, starring Bafta-nominated Tom Stourton, who co-wrote and starred in 2021 feature All My Friends Hate Me. Snapshot is about the 19th century inventor of the pinhole camera and has been shot entirely in a 1:1 circle aspect ratio to mimic this style.
Previously, Joseph has had the pleasure to make projects starring Batfa-winner Jess Ransom and the legendary Bafta-nominated Stephen Fry.
Founded in 2022, Silicon Gothic produces narrative work that highlights environmental damage and social issues in modern British society.
Joseph has written for the Open University on film and sustainability and most recently he delivered a seminar at University of Cambridge on sustainable narrative filmmaking for the Marlowe Society.

She served as a juror for BAFTA Cymru and festivals across Europe, and as a lecturer and mentor worked at institutions like Ravensbourne, Met Film School, and Norwich University of the Arts.
