Toby Amies is interested in exploring extraordinary points of view.
His first feature documentary The Man Whose Mind Exploded had a national cinema run in the UK and was acquired by Netflix in the US and Film 4 in the UK.
Before becoming a full time film maker he worked for MTV as a VJ and producer as well as writing and fronting documentaries and shows for the BBC, Lonely Planet, Rough Guides and SkyArts.
Due to his supporting practice as a portrait photographer Toby has now developed a first-person style of documentary that records his relationships with his subjects, allowing the audience to share in an unusual degree of intimacy with the people in front of the camera.
