LOST IN.
I’m Jamie Weston. A British filmmaker, writer and creative educator drawn to vivid characters, forgotten histories and things that refuse to stay unexplained. My work travels between the film set, the written page and the places where folklore meets reality.

The person behind it06 / About
Always
curious.
Director. Producer. Writer. Author. Investigator. Educator. They're not separate lives. They're different ways of following the same question: what makes a story worth telling?
Growing up on the Essex coast, I found myself drawn to history, old buildings and the stories people leave behind. That curiosity now runs through everything I do: independent films, books, the Bethnal Archives, creative education and cultural work.
There have been festival screenings, broadcast films and long days on set. But what matters to me most is making something worth sharing.
