About : The Team

Having met as producers on the feature Lookin' For Lucky, Jonathan Harris and Chris Leonard joined forces to form Concept Pictures.

Jonathan Harris
Jonathans' background is built on having worked in production on commercials for companies such as Heineken, Dove and Kellogg's. Jonathan's visual and creative skills have benefited the camera department on many professional Award Winning and UK Film Council funded short films contributing in various roles, including D.O.P. Having previous experience in theatre directing and coaching actors, he has also directed and produced numerous Music Videos, and co-produced the low budget feature Lookin' For Lucky. Most recently, Jonathan beat over 3,000 other applicants to be selected to attend the Berlinale Talent Campus (08), an event that runs alongside the Berlin Film Festival, aimed at developing the finest up and coming talents in the industry. Whilst there, he attended lectures and received training from industry veterans such as Iain Smith (producer: 'Wanted'), Mike Leigh (Director: 'Vera Drake') and Stephen Frears (Director: 'The Queen').

Chris Leonard
Originally an actor, Chris pursued a successful career in business before turning his filmmaking passion into a full time activity. In addition to many short films, Chris has produced and directed the hilarious black comedy Last Tango in Powys, the broadcast documentary Fare Game (short listed for RTS submission) and latterly the low budget feature Lookin' For Lucky. In addition to writing, producing and directing, Chris also teaches filmmaking to degree standard.

Andrew Patrick (Business Consultant)
Chris and Jonathan are very grateful to have Andrew on board. He spent 13 years with PACT before becoming Chief Executive of The British Film Commission. A member of the British Academy of Film & Television Arts, and the Association of Film Commissioners International, Andrew's knowledge and expertise is proving invaluable to the development of Concept Pictures.
