#4: Chris Atkins, BAFTA-Nominated Filmmaker and Director of Starsuckers (2009), ‘Documentary-Making and Causing Trouble' All welcome!

Chris had a lucky start to his career when he produced Richard Jobson’s debut feature, Sixteen Years Of Alcohol, which went on to win two British Independent Film Awards. Thanks to a chance meeting with one of Michael Moore’s producers in 2006, he decided to direct a documentary on the loss of civil liberties in the UK called TAKING LIBERTIES for which he was BAFTA-nominated. His second movie, about the insidious infiltration of the celebrity culture, is called Starsuckers and caused a stir in the national media when it was released in October.
