Chris Jones
Author/Film maker (Guerillas Film Makers Handbooks)
www.livingspirit.com

Living Spirit Pictures Ltd., based at Ealing Studios, was founded by its two co-directors, Chris Jones and Genevieve Jolliffe. Their business idea was simple - to run a company solely for the production of commercial independent feature films for the international market place and running courses for film makers. Living Spirit's invaluable experiences making low budget feature films in the UK have since been committed to paper in the form of the ultimate book for low budget film makers, The Guerrilla Film Makers Handbook. A cross between anecdotal experiences and hard factual interviews with industry experts, the book promises to be the definitive guide to UK film production.
