About

BadgerFox is the production moniker of Ed Willey. A writer and director based in London, Ed created his first short film in 2020 using just his wits and a mobile phone.

Ed went on to study at MetFilm, based at Ealing Studios, before taking on multiple 48hr film competitions where his films won numerous awards across different categories. This lead to Ed being invited back as a jury member for the 2024 London 48hr Film Project.

With a taste for silliness and tension, Ed's films vary in genre and style and have played at film festivals across the world, winning fans and accolades in the process.

Being a huge fan of the collaborative process Ed has built up a core network of cast and crew that he works with regularly, as he enjoys hearing the ideas of others as much as driving his own vision for his work.

When not creating his own projects, Ed can also be found 1st AD'ing for others with his clear and logical approach to scheduling and logistics.
