Director Biography - Jack Turner

Hello! My name is Jack Turner. Throughout my whole life, I've had one goal, which is to become a filmmaker. I love movies since I was a kid. During my GCSEs, I always found movies reliable when it came to Photography and English, as both subjects had one thing in common... creativity. To me, my favourite place to go is the Cinema. It always excites me to see either a brand new film come out, or even a re-release of an iconic movie like "Empire Strikes Back". Every time I go to the Cinema, I educate myself on how a movie was made. It always makes me smile seeing so many filmmakers talk about their passion for media and what inspired them. To me, my journey is very different from others that came before. My introduction didn't come from a certain film; it came from my parents. They always took me to the Cinema during my child-hood, so the memories pushed me further to pursue my dream job. I love everything about films such as Directing, acting and Editing. I always work hard and always self criticise on my Documentaries and films. Improving the negatives leads to positive outcomes!

Director Statement

The Deadly Session is a short character study film focusing on a guy called "Patrick Bale". He needs a Therapy session to open up but what we (the audience) uncover is far from what we expect. This film takes influences from "American Psycho" and is a massive love letter to M.Night.Shyamalan films like "Split".
