Ricci Harnett - Writer and Director
An actor of over 30 years, Ricci has worked with, and learned from, directors such as Danny Boyle (28 Days Later), Paul Greengrass (The Murder of Stephen Lawrence), John Hardwick (33 Times Around the Sun) and more recently, Nick Rowland (Hard Sun) and Lewis Arnold (Stained). He made his debut as writer/director of Rise of the Footsoldier: Part 2 and despite the success of his first feature, Ricci is keen to work outside the British gangster genre.
An actor’s director, he thrives when leading a cast and is as comfortable nurturing new talent as he is when working with seasoned performers.
