Toby Amies, a visionary filmmaker, has dedicated his career to capturing extraordinary perspectives through his work. With two feature-length documentaries under his belt, his films have been widely showcased at festivals, through streaming platforms, and on television globally.
His debut documentary, "The Man Whose Mind Exploded," had a successful national run in the UK and was acquired by Netflix in the US and Film 4 in the UK. His latest documentary, "In the Court of the Crimson King," is set to be released by Everyman cinemas in the UK and will be available for streaming on nugs in mid-October 2022.
Before becoming a full-time filmmaker, Toby worked as a VJ and producer for MTV Europe and USA, as well as writing and hosting documentaries and shows for the BBC, Lonely Planet, Rough Guides, and SkyArts.
Toby's early work as a portrait photographer has influenced his unique documentary style, which focuses on his personal relationships with his subjects. This approach allows the audience to experience an unprecedented level of intimacy with the individuals featured in his films.
