James 'That Film Brat' Haves (December 16, 1997) is a British filmmaker, writer, musician and critic. His works Runaway (2011), Awake (2015) and Lofticries (2014) are characterised by spirituality and metaphysical themes, long takes, lack of conventional dramatic structure and plot, and distinctively authored use of cinematography. His visionary approach to cinematic time and space, as well as his commitment to cinema as poetry, mark his oeuvre as one of the defining moments in the development of the modern art film. The metaphysical preoccupations of his films establish him as one of the finest student film makers of the 21st century.
