ROBIN WHENARY
Growing up in the Devon countryside, in South West England, I began making short films in 2000, and did Film and Video as one of my A-Levels (100% marks).
After studying Ancient History at university, I resumed filmmaking and began submitting my work for screenings. Since late 2007 my shorts have been broadcast and screened at festivals internationally, and won awards.

My films to date have been small-scale motion picture experiments, reflecting my passion for the fundamentals of cinema.
I'm currently preparing more ambitious projects, and hoping to go to film school in the near future.
