Community Insider: William Foxwell

We have some amazing people working at The Generator and in this section we’ll chat to them and find out a little more about what they do.

Tell us a little about yourself.

A dad, a husband, a tv geek, a trekkie, a failed drummer, a curry-lover, an ale-drinker, cameraman, editor, filmmaker.

Tell us a bit about what you do.

I’m a freelance filmmaker which sounds loftier than it is. I set up as a freelancer back in 2010 when I returned to my native Devon after a long stint working in broadcast and content marketing in London. There not being many staff filmmaking jobs down here I took a punt and started my own company, Foxwell Films. Now I make brand films, mini-documentaries and all sorts of other video content for big national brands (like Nationwide building society) and small local ones (like Quicke’s cheese).
