Oliver Willis
My name is Oliver Willis, I am 24 and from the UK. I am currently studying journalism and film studies at the University of Worcester.
I started as a film blogger back in 2011. It was called WatchReadReview and it was where I first began to write film reviews on mainstream Hollywood films. I found I began to grow bored of reviewing these films rather quickly as it was an area that thousands of other blogs were also covering and I felt I was contributing nothing new to the market. That is when I discovered the world of independent cinema.
For the past year I have been promoting independent films. Working with indie film makers from around the world to get them the publicity they both need and deserve. I changed my name to Watch This Space Films and have not looked back.
Favorite director: Wes Anderson
Favorite films: The Fall (2006), (500) Days of Summer (2009), Four Lions (2010), The Warriors (1979), Dead Man’s Shoes (2004) and of course the Wes Anderson films.
Favorite Soundtracks: (500) Days of Summer, Amelie

Hi Ollie, I’m loving what you are doing. I like that your goal is to help indie and emerging filmmakers get the much sought after exposure for their films. You are in a really good position to help raise awareness and be essentially are a PR outlet for the small DIY Filmmaker.
I hope that we can collaborate in the future in getting the word out about worthy filmmakers and their projects just when they need it most.
I just started my FB page: https://www.facebook.com/FundMyFilm.
It’s aim is to help provide quality leads to resources, funding and inspiration for Producers and Filmmakers and Screenwriters globally. I am located in Los Angeles but my list members and information are international. I post a lot about things happening in London.
I’d love to promote your FB page on my page to my membership list and would love a shout out on yours. How about it? You have my email, so let me know.
cheers!
Sounds brilliant! WatchReadReview’s Facebook is: http://www.facebook.com/watchreadreviews
Hi Oliver,
My name’s Peter Harris. Your work looks impressive and potentially a ‘god sent’!
I’m working on a series of self funded educational/ history/ culture/ travel documentaries on different countries, the first of which I’ve just published the trailer for.
These feature length documentaries are history and culture focused with a splice of travel throughout designed to be easy to understand. It’s much like a simplified version of what you would read in the front of a travel guide book. Thailand, Singapore and Ireland are in post-production and Cuba and Brazil are in pre-production.
It will be available to stream for $4.99 or buy DVD for $18 through distrify.
Is this something you think you could work with?
i could definitely work with this! Send me an email on watchthisspacefilmpromotions@gmail.com and we can talk
