Director Biography - Leigh Tarrant

Leigh was born in North London and attended comprehensive schooling in Southgate, North London. He went on to study at Mountview Theatre School. From there he became a full time musician playing bass guitar for London based bands such as The Unexplained, Addict, GBH and finally Prime Cut. Eventually a career in advertising yielded an insight into TV advertisement editing and an understanding of corporate filming. After many successful years working for some of London's leading advertising agencies (AMV.BBDO & Grey London respectively) he went on to set up his own production company (Skooch Media) based in the south of England. He still plays, writes and records music, as well as staying active in film production and the corporate side of video production. A directorial debut UK movie earned three awards. He has three daughters from his first marriage. He resides in East Anglia, UK.
