Craic Addict Films is the brainchild of Bill Taylor, who resides in the coastal town of Bangor, situated 14 miles east of Belfast in Northern Ireland. He is 33 years old, married to Elaine, complete with a 2-year old daughter, Aurora, and loves the movies.
"Telling you, it's up there somewhere"
Bill’s passion for the moving image began when he was 5 years old – he remembers going to see Star Wars (that’s what it was called back then – no “New Hope” or Episode 4) with some friends while living in Germany, where he sat right in the front row. As soon as he got home he proceeded to projectile vomit all over the house due to motion sickness, but this did not put him off – he was back at the cinema the next week for The Empire Strikes Back, where he sat around the middle this time, proving that he learns from his mistakes.
Bill has been a big fan of movies all of his life, and has amassed a film knowledge that could be extremely useful to pub quiz teams all over the land. He was once asked what his 10 Desert Island films would be, but quickly pointed out that it was a pointless question as it was highly unlikely that this island would have any power outlets. The truth is that Bill’s Top 10 films are constantly changing.
Bill’s love of film brought him to take a night class in Film Studies in 2006, in which he loved immediately – discussion about film techniques and history stoked the fires of ambition within, and so in 2007, Bill created the Craic Addict Films production company which has gone from strength to strength.
Bill believes in education, and with every piece that he has undertaken, he puts something new into operation so that he can learn about it. To date, Bill has played with all sorts of filmmaking elements such as green screen, digital effects, lighting, and sound to name but a few. Others consider him to be proficient, but Bill is quick to say that he is constantly learning his craft.
He has worked with an extremely talented acting community, and thanks everyone for their time. Bill has high hopes of helping shape and develop Northern Ireland’s indigenous creative populace, and believes he has the right demeanor and work ethic to achieve just that.
