Trained at Webber Douglas Academy of Dramatic Arts and raised by a theatrical family, Hal Sinden's first professional engagement on a feature film was at the age of 12 as a floor runner on 'The Mystery of Edwin Drood' and from then on he has worked across varied camera & production roles for directors such as Christopher Hampton, Richard Attenborough, Gerry Lively, Terence Ryan & Hansjörg Thurn among others, contributing to the formation of the Isle of Man Film Commission in the 1990s, Northern Ireland Screen's Paint Hall Studios in the 2000s and Shackleton Studios in the 2010s. He also has sat on the board of judges for the London Fetish Film Festival since its inception in 2019.
As an actor he has worked extensively in theatre and has committed voice over work & creature effects for a number of audiobooks, short & feature films including 2016's 'The Legend of Tarzan' and Dave McKean's 'Signal to Noise', even appearing briefly (whilst technically underage) in Stuart Urban's 'Preaching to the Perverted' in 1997. He has also written for a substantial body of theatrical pieces as well as standup comedians (most prominently for Fiona Harding's 'The Dark Show', debuting at the 2006 Edinburgh Fringe).
As a musician he has toured Europe & the United States of America as the frontman of industrial metal act interlock and later throughout Europe & Scandinavia as the frontman for progressive death metal band talanas, the latter's album 'the waspkeeper' being declared by the Guardian newspaper as having been crucially overlooked for a Mercury Music Prize in 2011.
Previously incorporated as a record label and now trading as a film & music video production company, Eulogy Media Ltd. has a slate of independent horror & dark drama titles under development & consideration and has completed numerous music videos for UK doom metal legends My Dying Bride as well as for the charity single 'In Solitude' for UK ISO Metal Merger / StageHand projects, appearing on BBC & Sky News throughout the lockdown of 2021.
