FILM LONDON LODESTARS: Theo James Krekis
WHAT WE SAY
We have known the indomitable Theo since we developed and funded a short he wrote back in 2015 (Breathe) and his passion for storytelling impressed us from the first. He came straight back with projects as a director, including the brilliant Pram Snatcher—a clear indicator that he is ready to take on long form drama for the big screen.
