Director & Exec Producer
CHRIS BOUCHARD
Chris is an British film maker with a growing body of cinematic work. He discovered his passion for film as a student at the University of York Film making Society. He was initially fascinated by the relationship between sound and picture, and studied film music in his early years, then worked at Dolby Laboratories and eventually as a visual effects engineer for a Soho post house. His fascination for cinematic story telling and the intricate dependency between actor and camera drove him to continue to push low budget film-making techniques to realise his vision, often using digital tricks to achieve difficult visual effects. He set out to make The Hunt For Gollum as a tribute to the work of J.R.R. Tolkien and the films of Peter Jackson. His other work includes shorts Disconnect, The Machine, Clone and the apocalyptic cinema project Human Residue.

THE PRODUCTION TEAM
Co-Producer
BRIAN LAVERY
Brian's experience spans numerous
independent film and theatre projects in practically every type of crew
role. Hearing about The Hunt For Gollum, he was excited to be part of
such an ambitious production with such a low budget, particularly a fan
film for a trilogy he loves. As co-producer Brian's responsibilities
are on co-ordinating the fight training so the orcs and rangers are
ready to do battle, and overseeing prosthetics so everything looks top
quality. Aside from producing on this project, Brian is also a director
currently working on a music video for UnderOver The Clouds in collaboration with music producer Microwave. Brian is delighted to be part of such an impressive team.

on the West Coast. She was a two time winner of the University of Miami

London she completed an MA in Social Anthropology from

outstanding crew, cast and vision. Her role for The Hunt for Gollum has
been in production coordination and management, above all supervising
the crew as well as being an active supervisor of the art department.

Co-Producer
JULIANNE HONEY-MENNAL
Julianne’s experience
spans many different disciplines. She began as a writer, actor, then
director - treading the boards at Rose Bruford Drama school and the
West End before deciding that behind the scenes is more fun after all.
In 2005 she became Art Director and Set Dresser for photographer
partner Richard Paris. As a hardcore Tolkien fan she was very excited
to become a part of The Hunt crew. As Co-Producer for wardrobe,
Julianne is responsible for the fantastic team of designers and costume
makers that give TH4G it’s realism. She is also acting as Script
Advisor on the project, and is determined to introduce elves wherever
she can!

Co-Producer
SPENCER DURU
Spencer is an upcoming film
producer with a background in independent short films and music promos
in both production and post production houses. He's a
business graduate with an already growing portfolio of film
projects, and his own production company. Spencer got involved in the
project being a big fan of both Mr Bouchard and his vision for the film
and also the LOTR trilogies themselves. He has, in the later shoots,
tried his hand at 1st Assistant directing but his main role in
producing has involved publicity, attaining permits, locations and
other crew members. He has also put together a behind the scenes
documentary which will be released in December. Moreover, Spencer is
very happy to be part of such a talented outfit and intends to keep
making films with this promising team.

Editor
LEWIS ALBROW
Lewis
read The Hobbit when he was 7 and LOTR when he was 11 (although he
skipped past much of The Council of Elrond...) To be helping to now
create part of that world is a privileged chapter of an editing career
covering drama, documentaries, music videos and commercials. When not
cutting furiously for the BBC or ITV he's getting buried in a wide mix
of features which so far include a gangster movie, an Ealing-style
comedy, a vampire flick, a record store rom-com and a 'hip hop opera'.
He specialised in editing during his last year at sunny seaside Hull
after falling in love with the process. Before long he was cutting his
teeth in the corporate world with fast turnaround show after show until
eventually going freelance to cut his first feature on the G5 on his
bedroom. He only wishes he could work on TH4G full-time rather than
extra-curricular as it's infinitely more rewarding than daytime BBC.
Ah, maybe someday...
And The Hobbit is still his favourite book.
