Kyle Bashford

Kyle and twin brother Liam started filmmaking at the age of fourteen. By nineteen, they received their first award for Best Director at the Young Independent Film and TV Awards. The Bashford Twins have since operated out of Pinewood Studios for over eight years, directing and coaching over ten thousand actors, one of which included Charlie Heaton (Stranger Things) and they worked alongside Bafta winning directors and industry acting coaches such as Mel Churcher. Their films have secured worldwide distribution, including their psychological thriller, Smile (2013) which was bought at the 66th Cannes Film Festival. They continued their journey by writing and directing their short film Perfect Match (2014) which was selected at the London Sci-Fi 48 Hour Film Challenge and screened to industry professionals, including Danny Boyle. In 2015 they directed and co-wrote the moving film Then and Now starring Julian Glover (Game of Thrones, Indiana Jones). The film has won 15 awards, selected at 25 film festivals and screened in 10 countries.
