First Person Films

We are a BAFTA award winning production company co founded by Victoria Mapplebeck, Debbie Manners and Michelle Feuerlicht. Creative technologies are constantly evolving, exposing new content to fresh audiences – non fiction stories are now being told across all manner of genres and platforms. We are passionate about stories that are intimate and innovative, stories that take risks and experiment with genres and next generation technologies. Our films have been seen on small screens and large , from cinemas, to TV and art galleries. We are proud to have made the BAFTA winning Missed Call , the first short film commissioned on the iphone X. We have also experimented and stretched the boundaries of cinematic VR with The Waiting Room VR , selected for Forbe’s Top 50 XR experiences of 2019 We’re currently developing Motherboard, a smartphone feature documentary written and directed by Victoria Mapplebeck . Motherboard documents the last 16 years of raising her son alone. This story will be told via the messages, photos and videos hidden in the phones Victoria has owned since 2000. Key stories include an unplanned pregnancy, reconnecting with Jim’s father who was absent for over a decade and Victoria’s recent breast cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery. This is a story with great highs, grim lows, secrets, loves and lies. It will be bold, brutally honest and ultimately a celebration of a modern single parent family. Motherboard received The WFTV Pat Llewellyn bursary in 2019 We’re also committed to nurturing new talent and dedicated to developing and promoting more women and BAME filmmakers, particularly in Immersive Storytelling . If you have a story that is intimate , creative and genre defining we’d love to hear from you.
