NICK AHLMARK - Filmmaker and Founder of Storytime Films
I produce, direct and sometimes self-shoot. My films have sold at MIPCOM to over 20 international territories, featured on the front page of The Guardian and racked up a fair few million views on Youtube. Most recently I won a 'People's Voice' Webby award in the 'News & Politics' category for a film I directed about the drug crisis in austerity hit Greece. It's an exciting time for film-makers with more platforms than ever for our work to be seen, a global audience and an unending plethora of stories that should and must be told.
