As part of his collaboration with O'Toole, he has worked on award-winning short films including 'On the Corner of Nowhere' and 'No One Can Hear You' Raised in Portsmouth, Bufton quickly took an interest in art and media, shooting and acting in his own home-made films. He later earned a degree in Film from Bournemouth University where he met Director of Photography Emily Burge, before setting up Petrichor Productions with O'Toole as a way to build a community of fellow filmmakers and creatives with whom the pair could work and develop productions in tandem with.
