George Banfield
George Banfield (1888–1963)[1] was a British film producer and director. He first entered the film industry in 1908. During the mid-1920s he began producing series of short films during the Slump of 1924. In 1926 he formed a new company British Filmcraft, and bought Walthamstow Studios.[2] The company produced a large number of shorts, and four feature films but did not make the transition from silent to sound films. He is sometimes credited as George J. Banfield.

gollark: Yes.
gollark: For example, `do_something(4, 44)` would print `48`, as inside the function arg1 has the value `4` and arg2 has the value `44`.
gollark: You can now call `do_something` with some arguments and it'll print their sum.
gollark: ```lualocal function do_something(arg1, arg2) print(arg1 + arg2)end```
