The Romantix are BAFTA Nominated Filmmakers, Jay and Ralph, a London girl and a Northern boy with a shared desire to tell challenging and emotive stories.
After meeting in 2010 and collaborating on various creative projects, they directed their first film together in 2017, My Turtle Dove, a self funded passion project which was supported by brands such as Fred Perry and Converse, awarded a Vimeo Staff Pick and went on to be screened across film festivals nationwide. Their first commercial project was writing and directing two spots within the multi-award winning Channel 4 idents.
Most recently, their short film ‘Brown Brit’ was nominated for a BAFTA, acquired and broadcast on Channel 4 and won Silver at The Young Director Award in Cannes.
Each with over a decade’s experience across various disciplines (Ralph in post production and Jay in branding/design), together they bring with them a wide range of creative skills and a unique approach to filmmaking.
“Our work explores identity and relationships with the goal of changing perspectives. Similarly to The 18th Century Romantics, we believe that the purpose of art is to achieve a deeper connection. Isn’t everything we do in life a way to connect to others?”
