WILLIAM NUNEZ

DIRECTOR/PRODUCER/WRITER


William Nunez is a writer/director of award winning commercials and short subjects now making feature films. 

 

Mr. Nunez is in the midst of editing and shooting additional material for False Impressions, his first feature film.  It is a film Mr. Nunez calls a “docu-narrative” which will be original in its storytelling, and hopefully an alternative way of looking at feature films. The film will be completed in the spring of 2009 with an eye towards a fall release.

 

In 2009, Mr. Nunez will be directing THE LAUREATE, a story based on the life of British poet Robert Graves. Mr. Nunez also wrote the screenplay.  Shooting will take place in London and Wales.

 

His recent documentary work included Chocolate World opened in the US to great acclaim and he has directed television programs for the news channel CNN.
