Life through the Lens of MJRFilms

At the age of ten I looked through the lens of my first camera, and something clicked…and it wasn’t the shutter. I knew from that moment that I wanted to be part of the Film Industry. My main dream and passion is to bring stories to life for the entertainment of others and to eventually become a Feature Film Director. I am a very creative and visual worker. I heavily pay attention to the Art Direction in my films. I feel like a universe has to be created around every story idea I come up with. I love interacting with new actors and enjoy the level of pressure that comes with that, as well as revisiting old crews and cast to gain relationships and trust. I am currently building a significantly impressive showreel. This page is really a way of communicating freely and with ease to people who share similar goals and ambitions. And sharing the magic I make with all you lovely people!

10 Years ago #supermanreturns was released. The film had huge expectations to live up to and ended up being the only outing for @brandonjrouth but I still rate him as one of the best portrayals of Superman and the score to this film is stunning. So much of this film aesthetic approach was right #Superman #DCcomics #Film

[mjrowneyfilms]

Possibly my favourite #Superman comic. Using it for inspiration today. #comicbook #DCcomics #directing

@sonoftomorrowuk had a range of different nods to the comics, films, TV shows and pop culture. One of my favourite moments was our inclusion of that famous ripping of the shirt #Superboy #FanFest #DCcomics #Superman #supergirl #supermancelebration #RowneyMotionPics

Epic DC fan art from Mark Manley. Check out his 3 minute sketches. Honoured that he took the time to add Superboy to his DC Line up. @sonoftomorrowuk #fanart #Superboy #supergirl #batman #batmanvssuperman #DCcomics #cw #warnerbros #comics

Announcement time: My latest film starring @oli_reynolds @sonoftomorrowuk has picked up 4 Wins at the Los Angeles Independent Film Festival Awards.

Additional categories include Best Editing for Pete Hills who I am chuffed for he worked so hard between his full time editing job to make the movie what it is. Then to @issy_official and @louinairne in the acting department, Best Under 18 Actor and best Supporting Actress respectively. Massive well done to them both returning collaborators with #RowneyMotionPics so thrilled for them. #Superboy #DCcomics #FanFest #laiffawards #directing #Film (at Los Angeles, California)
