Grant Thoburn was born in South Shields, England, in 1965. He studied English and Drama at university and was an actor for ten years before realising his long held ambition to make a film. This film turned out to be Old Pals - a silent tribute to Laurel & Hardy. It won him a place at the Northern Film School where he made two 16 mm short films : Dirty movie and Deb the web. He then went on to an exchange scholarship with the Polish National Film School, where he directed Mama, Look.
