ABOUT
14167 Films was formed in 2009 by director Nic
Saunders with a short film collaboration with poet Michael McClure.
Nic Saunders studied at The Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, London and
made his professional directing debut with a stage production of the
counter culture musical "Hair" at The Edinburgh Festival in 2003.
This was followed in 2004 with the World Premiere of "Black Aspirins"
by Verity Bargate nominee Darrin Grimwood and in 2006 with the London
revival of "The Beard" by Michael McClure.
The success of "The Beard" led Saunders and McClure to continue their
association with the short film "Curses and Sermons" based on McClure’s
1968 poem "The Sermons of Jean Harlow and The Curses of Billy The Kid".
Encouraged by the reception to the first film, 14167 Films have, to date,
produced three further short films based on or inspired by the work of Allen Ginsberg,
William S Burroughs and Jack Kerouac, as well as a short documentary with Carolyn
Cassady.
14167 Films are now in production on their first feature length project.
