Be Original, Take Risk, Bet on Yourself

I wish for complicated yet simple stories and characters. I get sucked into intelligent and real acting and writing. I dream of scenarios that live outside the box. There are infinite ways to tell a story find the one that you wish you could see. Vision is everything.

Story Of
Our Logo

The boy beneath the tree is me. As a child growing up in the south of England, I often found myself drawn to the quiet majesty of trees—especially the ancient English yew. For centuries, yews have stood watch over churchyards and villages, their roots intertwined with both heritage and memory.

Our family’s story rests beneath one such yew. My grandmother would take me to visit my grandfather’s grave, where his ashes were laid under its sheltering branches. Those moments became a quiet ritual: a boy, a grandmother, and a tree older than any of us, holding space for grief, remembrance, and love.The yew is more than a tree. It symbolizes endurance, legacy, and the passage of seasons. Its life stretches beyond our own, yet it reminds us that even the most enduring things are not eternal.

 

Just as trees shed their leaves and renew, so too do our ideas. They outlive us for a time, carried by others, until they fade and make way for new growth.The logo of Contentious Films is a patronage to my grandmother, my heritage, and the belief that storytelling—like the yew—creates shade and shelter for those who come after us. The hope is simple: that the stories we plant may inspire others to grow their own.
