From the age of 13, he would go to his local Salford Precinct and buy as many DVDs as possible. Often buying the weird and wonderful over the box office hits, his love for film making only grew into a passionate hobby and future career prospect.
“The first film I bought was John Carpenter’s They Live. I watched it about ten times, it was so different from what was being shown in the cinemas. From there I bought as many films as possible and it became a hobby. The film, Nobody Loves You and You Don’t Deserve To Exist, follows the main character as he navigates through bereavement, job loss and estrangement from family. Focussing on men’s mental health is something that Jack was drawn to.
“I think it was a good thing to take advantage of the lockdown at the time, as we probably wouldn’t have been able to do it at that level. It’s a good thing we did it in response to what happened. Nobody Loves You.. has since made waves across the world, winning 45 awards at film festivals and counting.
