BIO
London based, Tollan Films is the creation of Anies Hassan. Anies has been involved in the archaeological field since 1993 and has a BA in Archaeology and an MSc in Archaeological Science from The Institute of Archaeology, UCL. After graduating, Anies worked as a professional field archaeologist in Southern England as well as warmer and more exotic destinations, such as Egypt, Qatar, Bahrain, Turkey, Iceland, Peru and Belize. He also worked for the United Nations in Bosnia and Croatia as part of an international team investigating war graves.
In 2008 Anies made a series of short videos whilst working for an innovative online archaeology outreach project called the Prescot Dig. Managed by L - P : Archaeology, this project was based on a large excavation in East London (which Anies helped to supervise) and went on to win the 2008 Ralph Merrifield Award for London Archaeology. Since then he decided to concentrate on making web videos on a freelance basis.
