Stanley's War dramatises stories of love, loss and sacrifice, following the lives of Suffolk people during WW1. The film recounts the true life-changing experiences at the Western Front of Stanley Banyard, a farm hand from Ramsholt, and how he saved the lives of his comrades lost in no-man’s-land by using skills he learnt as a boy from a Suffolk gamekeeper.

Stanley's War was commissioned by Peninsula2018.org as part of the Armistice 100 commemorations. After months of research the filmmakers finally got a break when un-published memoirs from an ordinary Suffolk soldier were handed to them. The film was an ambitious project from the start and with auditions in August, filming in September (including northern France) and post-production in October, its was a great achievement to premiere the film on November 4th, 2018. With a cast and crew numbering almost 40 at times and with period costumes, props and locations to find, as the Producer and Director of the film, I am very proud of the end result.
