Chris Jones
Filmmaker, author, screenwriter and founder of Create50, The London Screenwriters’ Festival and TEDxEaling.
I also co-created and authored The Guerilla Film Makers Handbook series, and currently there are eight editions! I also made the multi-award winning and Oscars shortlisted film ‘Gone Fishing’.
I run the London Screenwriters Festival. TEDxEaling, as well as other training masterclasses.
In 2014 we completed our feature film, the crowd created 50 Kisses which entered the Guinness Book Of Records for most screenwriters on a feature film.
In 2016 we release our first Create50 book, Twisted50, available in soft back and Kindle.
I run regular film making workshops for filmmakers with low price points so everyone can attend and get making their projects.
Right now, I am developing the feature film ‘Rocketboy’ and running more Create50 projects.

Congratulations to ALL the writers in Twisted50 vol 3… You are now a number one Amazon best seller in three categories… Our joint and co-ordinated efforts paid off, though for a while I was worried we hadn’t done it. I think Amazon stats are about six hours behind. Maybe even more. Anyway, here’s where I KNOW we go to number one and its possible we did in other categories too.
Twisted50 Vol III… Is uploaded and we have a cover!

And it’s kind of a super power now. However, in the 80’s, loving horror and wanting DESPERATELY to create my own stories meant there were only a
Twisted50… Survey Results and AI Decisions

You must continue to sign up in order to read and review. We will not integrate AI into Create50 projects in the foreseeable future.
