Director Biography - Rob Worsey
Rob Worsey is a Director born and bred in the North of England. Along side his day job as a camera operator for corporate and commercial work, he spends time working in the Independent Film Scene, focusing on writing and directing.
His debut feature film Among the Living (2022) won the best feature film award at Crystal Palace International Film Festival, saw a brief theatrical opening in the US, and reached streaming internationally including Sky Store, Prime, and Tubi.
All This Time (2025) is Robâ€™s second feature film, and is built upon everything he and the team learnt on their first film. It is a larger budget, with more ambitious scope, and an engaging mind bending narrative.
Director Statement
I am incredibly excited about this film, as I believe weâ€™ve managed to create something new, exciting, and emotional. It is inspired by films such as The Others (2001), A Ghost Story (2017), Groundhog Day (1993), and Dracula (2020). It blends the time bending thriller elements together with a gothic atmosphere and emotional core into a twisting film that keeps the audience guessing throughout, and once revealed, makes them want to watch it all again to see what clues they missed. I love the type of films that have you clutching at clues and story strands, trying to piece the narrative together, and then completely pull the rug out form under you in the last act. This is what we have tried to make, and from early feedback, it feels like we might have pulled it off.

Algorithm Party chronicles the spoken-word performances of Liverpoolâ€™s Roy.
Director Biography - Roy Boulter
Roy is an acclaimed feature film producer and TV scriptwriter. Alongside Sol Papadopoulos, he founded Liverpool based production company Hurricane Films in 2000. His credits as a producer include:
‘Of Time & The City’, directed by Terence Davies. Premiering at Cannes, prizes included New York Film Critics Circle’s Best Documentary, and the film featured in Time’s ten films of the year.
â€˜Sunset Song’ directed by Terence Davies. Shot in New Zealand, Scotland and Luxembourg, the film premiered at TIFF. Cast included Agyness Deyn and Peter Mullan.
‘A Quiet Passion’ directed by Terence Davies. Starring Cynthia Nixon, Jennifer Ehle and Keith Carradine, the film premiered at Berlinale. An “absolute, drop dead masterwork”( New Yorker Magazine).

Algorithm Party is Roy Boulterâ€™s directorial debut.
Director Statement
As an admirer of the spoken word performer â€˜Royâ€™ (PJ Smith), I’ve always felt that his visceral tales of extraordinary working class Liverpool life, were not just visual but cinematic. Despite the seemingly parochial, down-at-heel settings, there is an abstract beauty to it all, which put me in mind of the great Liverpool director Terence Davies’ early work – whom I worked with on three of his films, which I produced. Despite Terence and PJ being very different, they both depict the world with a bleak rawness while retaining an inherent humour.
Roy / PJ is a former substance abuser turned artist, campaigner, mentor and all-round force for good. He performs extensively and has been approached by leading television companies about adapting his work for TV dramas.
While deciding on how best to capture Roy’s performance of his debut publication “Algorithm Party’, I kept thinking about another performance piece, Spalding Grey’s classic â€˜Swimming to Cambodiaâ€™. Using that as a template, I found a way to depict Roy’s unique take on working class life – his compelling stories featuring vivid, authentic characters. The film is shot mostly on location in the iconic St Georges Hall concert room in Liverpool â€“ where Dickens and other notable writers performed, and where we shot scenes for Terence Davies’ multi-award-winning feature documentary â€˜Of Time And The Cityâ€™.
Algorithm Party is an authentic, forthright glimpse into working class life, straight to camera with a blunt honesty – while retaining its humour and compassion.
