About Me
Adam J. Merrifield
I'm a film producer and company founder based on the South Coast of England. Producing since 2010, I lead BH Movies and White Lantern Film, making movies for UK, US and international audiences.
Recent productions include CHRISTMAS IN CANTERBURY for Hallmark, CHRISTMAS FROM THE HEART and I WAS HONEY BOO BOO for A&E Lifetime, the Tubi Original PLAYED AND BETRAYED, three movies for Studio TF1 America, and Passionflix's ROYALLY SCREWED, starring Academy Award nominee Shohreh Aghdashloo. Production partners include Muse Entertainment, Cineflix and Fox Entertainment.
My producing career began in 2010 with SILENT THINGS, the award-winning short starring Andrew Scott. Independent features followed: the noir thriller EMULSION starring Sam Heughan, the documentary DRYING FOR FREEDOM, and the festival award-winners K-SHOP and DIE BEFORE YOU DIE.
Alongside producing, I build companies that support the screen industry, including Unit Base One, a co-working space for film and TV professionals in Bournemouth, and Film Ready Locations. I chair Screen Wessex, sit on the BCP Film Office steering committee and hold board roles at Cinova, Ideas Studio and WLF Advance, advising local and regional government on film-friendly practice.
