Ella Greenwood is an award-winning filmmaker and a FORBES 30 Under 30 Honouree.
Aged 18, she founded Broken Flames and wrote, directed and produced her first film 'Faulty Roots' with which was selected for BAFTA Qualifying festivals including Carmarthen Bay at which she won the Rising Star Award. She then wrote, directed and produced a range of projects for Broken Flames, the likes of which have starred BAFTA & Olivier Award Winners.
She is an ambassador for stem4, a leading teen mental health charity, and made the decision to have Broken Flames focus on mental health as raising awareness is something of great importance to her.
