Biography
Francis Lee is a British actor, screenwriter, and director. He studied at Rose Bruford College and then enjoyed an extensive career as an actor, portraying a variety of characters in theater, television, and film.
He started out his movie career as a writer and director of shorts (Bantam, 2010; The Farmer's Wife, 2012; Bradford-Halifax-London, 2013; and The Last Smallholder, 2014), in which he returns time and again to growing up on his family farm in Yorkshire, while the meditative doc The Last Smallholder focuses on the last working farmer on a Yorkshire hillside – his father. These films were shown at several festivals (Palm Springs, Slamdance, Encounters, BFI London) and received numerous top awards. God' s Own Country (2017), which also comes out of his experience of living a hard life on the farm, is his feature debut.
