DARREN WARD - Writer/Producer & Director

d.o.b : 3rd April 1973

Darren Ward started out making micro budget short movies in the early 90s. BITTER VENGEANCE, a 17 minute short was highly commended at the annual BAVA (British Amateur Video Awards) awards in 1994.

Ward rewrote and turned BITTER VENEGEANCE into his first feature film - SUDDEN FURY (1998).

SUDDEN FURY marked the last starring role for the late great David Warbeck (Lucio Fulci's 'The Beyond' & Sergio Leone's 'A Fistful of Dynamite'). The film is an independent gem that has its own cult following. The Film has been released in every major territory on video/DVD between 1998 - 2013.

Ward followed this up with a multi-award winning short thriller 'NIGHTMARES' (2004)(silver remi, Worldfest & best score Crimson Eye). The short went on to be broadcast very successfully on Propeller T.V (sky channel 195). 'NIGHTMARES' had its world premiere at 'LA International short film festival' in Hollywood.

In 2010 Ward unleashed his Multi-Award winning feature film 'A Day of Violence' (featuring Italian horror legend Giovanni Lombardo Radice). ADOV is a brutal hard-hitting crime thriller with a twist.

It has won many awards from around the globe including 'Best Feature', Best Special Effects and Best Director.

Ward has now completed his brutal crime trilogy with the epic BEYOND FURY being released in 2021. A blood drenched crime thriller starring Italian horror legend Giovanni Lombardo Radice, Dan van Husen, Jeff Stewart, Nick Roberts, Dani Thompson.
