Liam Calvert is a director and writer originally from Leeds. He studied Film and Television at Solent University in Southampton, where he initially focused on editing. However, his passion for directing and writing emerged after writing the World War II short film Gisette. Liam then pursued an MA in Film Production, during which he created 24 Hours at the Giddy Bridge, a workplace documentary that follows the staff of the pub where he worked while studying. After graduating, he directed another short film, a zombie drama titled 1 in 6, before relocating to London and beginning work on his first feature film, On A Winter Night.

Liam is fascinated by stories with big characters, regardless of the genre or setting. Characters are the crux of any story, and that is his focus as a filmmaker, the relationships and struggles between different people and personalities, and how they come together for better or worse. Whether soldiers on a distant planet, civilians of World War Two or workers in a pub, Liam’s films always focus around a relatable, emotional core.
