George Dickson is a 21-year-old award-winning student filmmaker based in the North-East of England studying at The Northern School of Art. As a final year student of BA Hons Film, TV and Theatre Production, George has gained experience in a multitude of different roles, including cinematography, editing, and sound design. George specializes in writing and directing, and his student films have received recognition, including his short film Interzone which was Highly Commended at the Moving Image Awards 2019. George has since gone on to win Best Student Short at the New Renaissance Film Festival, London with his short film Night Shift. Night Shift also received a Lighting Craft Award at The Royal Television Society Student Awards (Yorkshire region).
George’s resourcefulness is fundamental to his directorial style, utilising his surrounding environment for each project. Using writing to explore grounded stories and naturalistic characters against heightened fiction contexts, George explores contemporary themes and issues through a consideration of classic cinematic format. This is especially true of his latest film, 'D.I.Y', which is his most ambitious project to date.
D.I.Y has been 2 years in the making, and it's great to see the world and characters come to life in a way I've always envisioned. The film has provided lots of new challenges for us, being one of the most dialogue and narrative heavy projects we've undertaken so far. However, we're confident that the film will showcase our development as filmmakers, as well as the hard work of everyone involved in the production.
