Toby Fountaine

Biography

Toby is an award-winning director, screenwriter and producer with a profoundly English sense of humour, and a tendency not to take himself too seriously. He does take words seriously though. He became a novelist, editor and publisher through a deep curiosity about all the ways that words can work on a page. He then turned to writing screenplays and became a Director, Producer and Executive Producer at three London-based film companies because, obviously, the next logical step was to see how words can work on a screen. He is also a father of three. Not words. Children. He doesn’t sleep. And rarely do they. But he still finds time for creative reflection. And wine.
