Bill lived in Paddington, Brixton, Peckham and Lewisham. By the time he was 20 he had spent 11 years in different institutions, brought about by the brutality of his Mother and Father’s alcoholism, which had decimated his family.

Bill’s Mother left the family home when he was four. She became a prostitute in order to feed her drink and drugs habit. Bill’s Father worked in the tunnels. He was a foreman in charge of a gang of Irish navies on the Victoria tube line. As Bill puts it  

Bill Maloney is a cockney speaking Irishman.His parents came over to England in the early 50’s. Bill was born in Lambeth hospital in 1956;

“They dug it, they laid the tracks, they ate in it, they pissed in it, they shit in it, and some died in it.

The life these men led was hard and brutal.

Drink expelled the pain and suffering but it didn’t help their families who became dysfunctional”.

Bill’s life-turning point came at the age of 34 on a bitter January night in the early hours of the morning when an alcohol-fed undiagnosed ulcer erupted, almost bleeding him to death.

That was 17 years ago. Since then Bill has developed his writing, acting, directing and presentation talents. These are best witnessed in his cutting edge films, and documentaries some of which have won awards in London and New York.

Bill works with his daughter Regan, who studied film, and Lilly Starr, his right hand assistant. Between them they have developed a style that really does put the audience into the film as ‘the third eye’. Their highly energised banter and choreography gives their sets a definite new dimension.

Bill believes his talent was shaped in those early years: “I would put myself into fantasy stories to escape the brutality of ‘carers’ and the pain of solitary confinement in Young Offenders Institutions and Borstals. Humour and a compassion for the underdog were to become my friends and strongest allies.”

The trauma, be it mental or physical, attributed massively towards the skills that this writer/director/actor/presenter would need to shoot the realistic black comedic social dramas and cutting edge documentaries that are creating his signature within the film industry.
