Barry Stone Pro

Barry brings thirty years of experience in the film business to the table when it comes to the productions he currently enjoys taking on.   Twenty two features as a director of photography, most of them with a limited budget, have taught him how to make sure the financial resources end up on the screen, how to make best use of the time available and how to manage both small and large crews.

Barry's parents met in drama school in England, so his background, and his own experience as an actor in film and on the stage has equipped him with the skills needed to work with and mould the performances of actors.

Barry's directing experience encompasses four episodes of the British hit series rENFORD rEJECTS, filmed in London for Nickelodeon and Channel Four,  "All Ways Welcome"*, which he produced and directed for the Ontario Ministry of Tourism and Recreation and numerous commercials, music videos and corporate films.

Recently Barry directed, shot and edited SNIFF,  a feature length drama / documentary hybrid with Amanda Plummer, Neil Morrissey (and a lot of great dogs).  He is also the co-creator and co-producer of the Bay Area's own PlayGround Film Festival now in its third year of production.     http://playground-sf.org/filmfest/

*    All Ways Welcome garnered ten National and International awards including top prize at the ITVA Canada, and top in category at the international  ITVA in Munich.
