After spending many years making short films and documentaries, in 2004 Antony decided to take a huge leap by enrolling on a film course at the International Film School of Wales. For his feature length "Project 21" documentary, filmed during his first year, he managed to get exclusive interviews with legendary filmmaker Ken Russell and Justin Kerrigan. By the end of his 2nd year Antony had already made a name for himself by setting up a company called Indywood, which was designed to produce and distribute Independent films and documentaries.
