Bart is a multi-award winning writer, director and executive producer known for creating ground-breaking work and pushing the boundaries of conventional story-telling techniques.

Bart has been the Creative Director of leading British production company RAW for the past 14 years where he has created and directed numerous award-winning documentaries and series.

In 2012 Bart directed his first documentary feature film, The Imposter, which received huge critical acclaim for its originality and storytelling following its debut at Sundance. The film picked up numerous prestigious awards including two British Independent Film Awards, a BAFTA for best debut and being shortlisted for the Academy Awards.

Bart's first narrative feature, American Animals, which he wrote and directed, premiered at Sundance in January 2018 to an equally rapturous critical response. He has since gone on to win screenwriting awards at both the British Independent Film and Writers' Guild Awards.
