[edit] Early years
Wigan famous for its Rugby League team and former coal-mining industry is a far cry from the streets of Hollywood but Chris Jones’ love for the cinema inspired him as a schoolboy to make 8mm zombie movies. This inexorably propelled him into film school where he met Genevieve Jolliffe. Together they made three films and wrote the now world famous book The Guerilla Film Makers Handbook.
