Chris Atkins
As the long time collaborator of writer/ director Richard Jobson, Chris Atkins co-produced Jobson’s debut feature, Sixteen Years Of Alcohol, which was screened in competition in many festivals including Edinburgh & Toronto, and won awards at Dinard and the British Independent Film Awards. It also was given 5 star reviews on it’s theatrical release in 2004.
Following the critical success of Sixteen Years, the pair teamed up again to make the UK’s first kung fu movie, The Purifiers. The UK rights were acquired by Working Title was released in the US by New Line.
In 2002 Chris wrote & directed the micro budget dark comedy Feedback on which premiered in Edinburgh in 2004 and was screened in competition at the Raindance Film Festival in 2005.
Following this, he produced Jobson’s third film A Woman In Winter. This was a romantic ghost story set in the world of Quantum Physics, so Chris’ physics degree came in surprisingly useful. The film premiered at the London Film Festival in November 2005 and was nominated for a Scottish BAFTA for Best Film. He then produced Nina’s Heavenly Delights and really wished he hadn’t bothered.
He became interested in all things to do with liberty at the end of 2005 and hasn’t slept since. He has resigned himself to never travelling to America again.
