Vincent Woods, a multifaceted artist and animator, was born in Derby, England to Clive Woods, an engineer, and Mary Woods, a shopkeeper and store detective. As a result of his family's frequent relocations due to work commitments, Vincent's early life was marked by a series of moves across northern England, eventually settling in Blackpool, where he discovered his passion for art and animation.
It was in Blackpool that Vincent went on to complete a degree in Fine Art, laying the foundation for his future career in the creative industry. Following his academic pursuits, Vincent relocated to Newcastle-upon-Tyne, where he began directing commercials for major household brands and producing audio-visual spectacles and installations.
In 2009, Vincent made his feature directorial debut with the period crime thriller 'Harrigan', set against the backdrop of the dark days of the blackouts in 1974. The eerie noir film was purchased by Netflix, Virgin, BT, and Film 4, and premiered internationally at the Busan International Film Festival.
Vincent's subsequent projects included producing and directing a number of films, including 'If I Were You', starring Oscar winner Marcia Gay Harden and Aiden Quinn, 'Sparks & Embers', starring Kris Marshall, and directing 'The Loss Adjuster', starring Dame Joan Collins, Luke Goss, and Cathy Tyson. 'The Loss Adjuster' earned Vincent accolades for Best Director and Best Feature at the Vancouver International Film Awards.
In addition to his work in feature films, Vincent has also ventured into documentary filmmaking, writing and directing 'People, Politics & Planes/Airline Wars Conspiracy', a documentary that exposes the global airline cartel's role in the collapse of Laker Airways in 1982.
In 2021, Vincent established London North Studios, a 5-acre, 200,000 sq. ft. studio complex with a large creative business hub located in the heart of London. The studio is home to major TV series from Netflix, ITV, BBC, Amazon, and several independent feature films.
