Hi, I'm Liam, I am a filmmaker, writer, director, CG generalist, animator and visual effects artist
Here you'll find all my short film work, as well as photography, music and freelance work.
Currently I have released four short films, all viewable below. My graduation sci-fi film, 'The Utopia Trial', a fantasy-action film, 'Warlock', 'Dancing on the Doorstep', a 1940's drama and 'Washed Up', a CG stop-motion style animation.
My latest short film, 'Mutiny' is also now completed and due to be released later in 2026, the trailer currently is viewable below though.
I am currently working on a number of projects, 'Last Words', a new short film that we filmed at the end of November 2025, is currently just finished up post-production. There are also a number of other films in the early stages of development, so keep an eye out for more on those. Follow my Instagram page for the most frequent updates about what I'm currently working on.

I have always been greatly interested the golden age of piracy and was very excited to make something set in that period of history. While this is not directly a 'pirate' film, the history detailing how privateers and merchant sailors turned pirate after the end of the war really interested me so I set out to make this short.

A CG animated micro short film written and directed by Liam J. M. Wilson. With ongoing pre-production on other big CGI projects, I was itching to complete a short animated piece a bit more immediately. I had just completed the music video for Frankie Statham's 'That's Life' which was made within just a month and so I really wanted to try something similar in scale and also allow Frankie to make the music for it.
I'd also just attended Manchester Animation Festival and was really inspired to make something resembling a stop motion style made in Blender. The idea was to keep this as ...

Dancing on the Doorstep is a short film that I tried to film in 2020 as a quick project with minimal VFX, but due to COVID, it was delayed until we could finally shoot in August 2021. It was a long time coming but it's finally out! I really hope that you enjoy.

"Caught in the aftermath of a deadly heist gone wrong, Emma's car is hijacked and she is forced to be a getaway driver, only to discover that the gunman is one of her oldest friends - trapping them both in a tense, uneasy catch-up while they wait to escape."
Starring India Thompson and James Bryan, Last Words is a tense drama written and directed by Liam J. M. Wilson. A departure from my usual work, this film features almost no visual effects, fastastical elements or action, but is instead a bit more of a slow paced character piece with a focus on the ...
