Jason Fite

Jason was born in London and is of Irish and Spanish/Catalan heritage. He mainly grew up in London but also was fortunate enough, at the age of seven, to live for a year in a remote farm in the Pyrenees, during which time he did not attend school or talk to anyone other than his parents. This allowed him to develop a deep love of reading and arguably caused him to start evolving the imaginary worlds and peoples of his later writing. Jason achieved a first degree in Psychology and several years later, inspired by his passion for mythology and Greek Tragedy, gained a Masters in Classical Studies. He initially started his writing career as a novelist and several of his works are available on amazon and on the Peracals Store. The Vampires of Suburbia is a (very) fictionalised story of a real-life murder case in which a group of teenagers, who believed themselves to be vampires, enacted a series of brutal murders. Later novels include 'King of the Castle' about a man who awakens in a mental asylum with no memory of who he is or how he arrived there, and 'Door to The River', the story of a man who becomes homeless and embarks on a quest to reach the source of the Thames. He is writing his latest novel, 'Last Night I Dreamt...' - the tale of an individual who becomes increasingly obsessed with the world he encounters in his dreams. It seemed to be a natural progression from writing novels to writing plays and scripts. Increasing frustration with the way his work was being produced (or more often not produced) led to Jason creating his own production company, Peracals Productions, which since its creation has produced five feature films, several original stage-plays and eight audio-books. As well as writing, Jason directs, co-produces and very occasionally acts. His last significant acting role was literally 'playing God' on the London stage in 'God - The Untold Story.' Since 2018, Jason has been primarily focussed on developing Peracals Productions which has involved him writing eight original screenplays, directing four feature films (through a dark mirror, Strangers and Neighbours, Daemon Mind and Nocturnes'), and several shorts (Mea Culpa (starring Sean Young), 'Ghosts of the Wasteland' and Time To Dance To Time). He has also written and co-produced the films, 'Dimension Slip' and 'The Horror, The Horror' as well as writing and directing seven AudioPlays and producing the audiobook 'Between Two Worlds' starring Juliet Stevenson and Jane Lapotaire. In 2022 Jason is developing new versions of classic dramas such as Euripides' 'Medea' and Sartre's 'No Exit'. He is also writing and developing the historical/mythical series 'The Heroes.' Away from the entertainment and creative world Jason has a passion for travelling and regularly goes on 'walkabout' which involves him going on extended walks or cycles for several days or weeks at a time. So far, he has walked, The North Downs Way, The Thames Path, The South Downs Way, The Ridgeway Path, The Grand Union Canal, Gibraltar to Barcelona (along the Spanish coast) and is currently walking Birmingham to Glasgow. He has cycled Land's End to John O'Groats, London to Mont Ventoux, Srinagar to Manali, Tel Aviv to Petra and Paris to Andorra. He has run (slowly) a total of nine marathons so far. He divides his time between Spain and London.
