BIOGRAPHY

Lesley Manning, a Welsh director with a rich background in film, has made significant contributions to the world of home video, particularly with her cult classic, "Ghostwatch" (1992). This groundbreaking BBC drama, known for its innovative blend of horror and reality television, holds the distinction of being the highest-rated single drama in BBC history for nearly five decades, making it a must-have for collectors who appreciate its pivotal role in the evolution of television storytelling. In 2011, Manning further solidified her status with "Leila," her first feature film as both writer and director. This poignant narrative garnered accolades at various film festivals, winning Best Actress at the London Independent Film Festival and securing audience and jury awards at the United Film Festival. Collectors value "Leila" not only for its compelling storytelling but also for its significance in highlighting the complexities of cultural identity. With her latest project, "Honeycomb Lodge" (2013), continuing to spark conversation within the British/Asian community, Manning’s work remains pivotal for those interested in the art of film and the evolution of narrative cinema on physical media.
