Experiencing Interruptions?

The Curious Case of the Boy Jones

Following her coronation in 1838, Britain's Queen Victoria was being relentlessly pursued by a strange teenager, Edward "the Boy" Jones, who had an uncanny ability to sneak into Buckingham Palace without being detected.

"If he had come into my bedroom, how frightened I would have been," the Queen wrote in her journal.

As a result of his multiple intrusions into Buckingham Palace, the Boy Jones became a media celebrity. Fearful that he might injure or even assassinate the Queen, or kidnap the Princess Royal, the government of Prime Minister Lord Melbourne wanted to get rid of the Boy Jones at all costs.

- Ted Serios, Psychic Photographer

Public Pictures began as a company of like-minded artists whose first documentary, Reflections on a Thoughtographic Mind, investigated the hard-drinking, hard-living ex-bellhop and psychic photographer, Ted Serios, who claimed that he could imprint his thoughts onto Polaroid film.

Public Pictures has since produced award-winning arts- & culture-related documentaries featuring strong character-driven stories. These films have been broadcast internationally and screened at various festivals and renowned cultural institutions worldwide.
