What is a Splonk?
Splonk is a creative production company based in Wales, specialising in high-concept comedy with cinematic craft and an absurdist edge.
Founded by long-time collaborators with over a decade of experience, we’ve built a reputation for comedy that’s bold, distinctive, and beautifully made - with work that’s been BAFTA Cymru-nominated, screened internationally, and commissioned by broadcasters and brands alike.
​
What we do
We develop original TV and film projects - from concept to delivery - and provide creative production services to other companies, agencies, and creative teams.
That includes writing, directing, shooting, post, and consultancy - all with a focus on character, visual flair, and surprising choices. Yes, we once dunked Alexander Armstrong in jelly. (And hit him with a fish.)
We don’t just make silly things - we make silly things brilliantly.
Let’s make something good, weird, and unforgettable.
Script Development & Consultancy
Want something weird, but not too weird or at least, weird in a good way? Need help balancing comedy with horror, satire with sincerity or absurdism with structure that actually works? That’s funny, that’s kinda what we do.
We know how to take a funny idea and build it into something cinematic, sharp and all-importantly, short. Whether you have a single-line concept, or a fully drafted script that needs questioning, Splonk can help! We’ve got an ear for comedic timing, experience with festival audiences, and basically love to workshop funny things.
OUR CORE TEAM
Four friendly filmmakers. Cinematically obsessed and mad in a good way. (Or so we’ve been told.)

James Button
Writer & Director
A silly Welshboy. James has so much fun making fun films for fun. He’s written, directed & starred (despite “not being an actor”) in mad number of mad films about goats, dinosaurs, aliens, ducks, sheep and god knows what is next…

Oscar Garth
DOP & Lighting Design
A bold and playful Director of Photography, who delights in bringing the surreal, bizarre and the unhinged to life on-screen.

Paul Marke
DOP, Editor & VFX
A King Kong of guerilla filmmaking - big enough to scare off Godzilla. The VFX wizard who binds the galaxy together. A passion for getting stuff made that is only outmatched by his love of ducks. (NB: Inventor of Duck Day}

James Morris
Music, Sound & Producer
Composer and producer who balances spreadsheets with symphonies. The grown-up of the group, until he gets his hands on an instrument- then anything is a deadly weapon of musical destruction.
