Director Biography - Tony Bianchi

British born, living in Spain since 1995. A latecomer to the world of filmmaking. A prolific lifelong 'creator' in technology and the arts, and an avid movie lover. Only 2 years ago (2017) woke from a doze in the armchair with a complete, original and fascinating movie ready to transcribe. Never had any intentions to work in the movie industry, but since writing that spontaneous first, the tap has been opened and unable to stop the flow, now 51 Hollywood-calibre movies (and counting) written at a rate of over 2 a month, and a massive struggle to get them made. Having to begin at the bottom without resources in southern Spain, so starting with local talent and a few shorts penned purely to make completion feasible. So much to offer, and in a rush to do it.

Director Statement

THROUGH A LENS DARKLY is the psychological journey of a girl pulling herself out of a dark place. An earnest first attempt to create a professional standard movie, for both the lead actress and the director, albeit with inferior quality equipment and zero expenditure.

Although I have a large pool of creative and entertaining feature length movies already written, and I am yearning to make them, the first handful of 3 or 4 short movies I am producing are written primarily to be able to complete them within a zero budget. They are therefore produced using the resources which I have at hand, natural acting talent, and available locations. 'Through A Lens Darkly' is the first of those shorts.
