Greg Hall (born 30 June 1980 in London, England) is a British film director, producer, cinematographer and screenwriter.
The Plague (2004) — made when he was a 22-year-old with a budget of just £3,500[1] — was Hall's feature debut, winning him the inaugural Katrin Cartlidge Foundation Award at the 10th Sarajevo Film Festival.[2] He went on to collaborate with composer Steve Martland on follow-up feature Kapital (2007).[3] Hall also wrote the screenplays for both of these films and was cinematographer for short film The Housewife (2005), which starred Alison Steadman.
In 2013, Hall created the film Communion, starring Paul Martin, about a vicar on the run who strikes up an unlikely friendship with a young punk traveler. A road journey of substance and fruitful rewards, actor Paul Martin stars in this highly acclaimed and beautifully made film. In 2014, he directed heist thriller Dangerous Mind of a Hooligan.
In 2020, he released R.I.P Audrey, a short film he made with his daughter during the lockdowns of COVID-19. That same year, Villain, written and produced by Hall and starring Craig Fairbrass and George Russo, was released. In 2021, he co-wrote Baby Boy with Russo, who went on to win the Best Actor award at the 2021 British Urban Film Festival.[4] [5]
