STILLLIGHT PICTURES  is an independent film production company based in the UK. We develop and produce bold, authored stories for screen, with a focus on performance, atmosphere, and emotional precision.

​

Founded by writer-director Robert James Verlander, Stilllight was created as a space for stories that speak quietly but stay with you. With a background in screenwriting, story development, and hands-on production, Robert’s work centres on tension, silence, and the complexity of human connection.

At Stilllight, we believe in cinema that listens. Whether set in the aftermath of war, the hush between strangers, or the margins of memory, our work is driven by restraint, intimacy, and truth.

​

We are not drawn to spectacle. We are drawn to moments. To breath. To stories that unfold in shadows, in glances, in the space between...

​

WHAT WE MAKE:

• Short films and scripted features for festival and co-production markets

• Narrative-driven work with cultural or historical weight

• Collaborations with directors, actors, and artists who lead with presence over performance
