FILM-MAKERS STARS OF TOMORROW From left Annemarie


Lean-Vercoe, Stuart Earl and Henry Darke


the 30-year-old. A struggle to break in followed but Earl hit his mark at the NFTS where he was signed to United Agents at his graduation screening three years ago. Since then Earl has picked up a Creative Skillset-backed Trailblazer award at the Edinburgh International Film Festival in 2009 for his work on varied features and shorts. Standouts include his scores for By The Grace Of God, In Our Name and, most recently, My Brother The Devil alongside the last of the three instalments of TV drama Black Mirror. Earl is now composing his first music


for theatre, for A Doll’s House at the Young Vic, and preparing a five-part BBC TV drama. “Music can easily destroy a film,” he says. “You have to be sensitive and I think I’ve found a way to understand how it can work together. I love performing music but the interest- ing part is creating, arranging, writing. Film is the most collaborative way to do it, which is what I love about this job.” Contact Silvia Llaguno, United Agents +44 (0) 20 3214 0901 sllaguno@unitedagents.co.uk


HENRY DARKE Writer-director A graduate of the London Film School — which he attended on a Creative Skill- set bursary — film-maker Henry Darke is readying his first feature Big Mouth, based on his 2010 short of the same name. Set in Cornwall — or “underneath the chocolate box side of Cornwall” — it is about a “deaf boy who is trying to keep his family together; the more he tries, the more the opposite happens”. Big Mouth is part of the LFS/Skillset/


The Bureau’s Hothouse development scheme and will be produced by Lisa Williams at Kevin Loader’s Free Range Films. The son of Cornish playwright Nick Darke, Henry’s own first play Highfliers was read at the Royal Court Theatre in London as part of the Young Playwright’s Season in 2004, and the 30-year-old has gone from strength to strength ever since. In addition to Big Mouth, Darke is also developing a comedy set in Shoreditch, east London, called In-Between Love, set to star Adeel Akhtar, with whom Darke worked on the Coming Up strand’s drama Hooked. Where The Bulls Run, about two brothers visiting Pamplona, rounds out Darke’s mini-slate. Contact henrydarke@yahoo.com
