Greg Hall is an Associate Lecturer for BA (Hons) Film Practice at London College of Communication.
Greg is a writer and director and has been working in the world of indie cinema since his no-budget feature debut, The Plague (2004) received the Katrin Cartlidge Foundation Scholarship from Mike Leigh, who described it as “serious, funny, witty, real, surreal and totally anarchic, very exciting 21st Century cinema”.
The Plague screened at the 48th London Film Festival, toured as part of the BFI Sutherland Trophy Tour 2005 and was broadcast on the BBC. Greg has directed six low budget feature films, four short films and one feature length documentary. His independent imprint Broke But Making Films (BBMF), attracted the patronage of Director Barney Platts-Mills.
Greg's work often deals with themes of poverty, mental health, drug abuse and critiques of the British class system. His work centres working-class voices, using elements of improvisation. Greg has written guest posts online for The Guardian Film Blog, BBC Film Network, Chris Jones (Guerilla Film Makers Handbook) and Raindance Film Festival. Featured interviews include Shooting People (Ben Blaine's Blog), Digital Film Makers Magazine, The Times Online, Exit 6 Film Festival and Cinesud.nl.
