Learning on ScreenDON BOYD PAPERS
- Description
- Don Boyd (1948- ) is a film director, producer and writer. The collection incorporates a wide range of personal and business papers, most of which are production documents relating to particular films written, produced or directed by Don Boyd. For most of the films in which he has been involved between 1968 and 2000 (including those which were never completed), the collection houses screenplay drafts and script notes, budget documents, correspondence, production schedules, publicity material and press cuttings. For each of the companies he has founded or co-founded (Boyd’s Co., Kendon Films, Berwick St. Studios, Anglo-International Films, Lexington Films) there are accounts files, correspondence, invoices and other documents pertaining to various business procedures. There is also a significant amount of personal correspondence, although this is by no means complete, and has been separated from the business correspondence only in cases where the divisions between private and business subjects are clearly discernible.
