Personal details
- Professions: Director, Producer, Cinematographer
Liam Le Guillou, straight outta the UK, is killing it behind the camera these days. The guy’s got this wild knack for making documentaries that don’t just tell a story—they pull you right in, leave you poking around in the shadows long after the credits roll. He’s bounced around the globe with his camera, but these days you’ll find him soaking up that LA sunshine (or, more likely, editing in some dark room). Let’s talk about his big hitters. “A Cursed Man” (2025) is classic Le Guillou—think creepy, fascinating, and just a little dangerous. He dives headfirst into the world of magic, sniffing out the truth behind the occult, and honestly, it’s the kind of film where you end up Googling stuff at 2am because you’re totally hooked. Then there’s “An Unknown Compelling Force,” tackling the Dyatlov Pass Incident. That one was an absolute beast on AppleTV—#1 documentary download, which is no joke. True crime, unsolved mysteries, a bit of Russian wilderness—what’s not to love? But it’s not just the big features. His short docs have racked up views in the tens of millions. That’s not luck, that’s skill. Le Guillou’s stuff isn’t just for the hardcore documentary nerds, either. There’s something gritty and real there that grabs casual viewers too. Whether it’s a full-length deep dive or a quick hit, dude’s got a signature style: edgy, atmospheric, makes you question what’s real. And sure, he’s British, but the guy’s gone global—his work speaks every language.
So, here’s a quirky little nugget for your next movie night: Liam Le Guillou actually hails from Jersey. No, not the one with diners and traffic jams—Jersey as in the Channel Islands, tucked between England and France. It’s kind of wild, because Henry Cavill, you know, the dude who played Superman (cape, abs, the works), is from the exact same place. Tiny island, but apparently, it’s got a knack for producing folks who end up in Hollywood spotlights. Guess there’s something in the water over there. People from Jersey always seem to punch above their weight class when it comes to fame. Makes you wonder what’s next—maybe the next Batman’s chilling on a Jersey beach right now, eating a pasty and not even realizing he’s destined for superhero status. Funny how these little places end up making a splash way bigger than their size.
