About Us - Feral Films - Production Company Manchester

Nick Williams

Self Shooting Producer / Director

Nick set up Feral in 2014 after working for several years as a Producer in one of the largest animation studios in Manchester. Armed with a laptop and a desk in his front room, he decided to leave the safety of the pack and go Feral.

Even though the business has now grown, Nick is still involved in all elements of the business. From filming and editing to business development, project management through to sweeping up, making brews and feeding the studio dog.

Sophie Williams

Producer / Owner

Sophie has a strong background in Project Management, working previously in a global IT business, overseeing large-scale projects and constantly delivering on time and to budget.

Sophie produces our animations, pre-production planning on all shoots and is our financial genius.

We have also used Sophie’s voice as a voiceover on a few of our animations!

Joe is a University of Salford graduate, with a First Class degree in TV & Radio.

Cordelia Soykan

Cordelia came all the way from New Zealand to join us. Well, not quite..

Before moving to the UK 2 years ago, she studied Film Studies in Auckland. Where she was involved in the pre production planning, filming and edit of various student productions whilst at college. She joins us as a Production Assistant, where she’ll be learning the ropes over the next few months to progress within Feral.

She is a Netflix addict and a huge ‘Hamilton The Musical’ fan! (Yep, we had to Google it too..!)

Barney

Dog

Barney is quite possibly the most important member of staff, who joined us over three years ago.

He’s essentially our front of house, where he meets and greets all of our visitors with a warm welcome (tongue).

He enjoys long walks on the beach, squirrels, food and shouting at cyclists.
