Directing

A good idea can only be judged through the eyes of the intended audience.  There’s no point you loving it if they won’t.

I’ve directed 100s of films for brands, charities and agencies – encompassing brand films, documentaries, social campaigns, thought-leadership pieces, client-retention/pitch content, mood/awards reels, b2b, b2c and internal.

My films are not just about delivering messages.  I want the audience to connect and relate.  To be moved to act. 

I’ve conducted interviews with global CEOs to the most vulnerable of people and use diverse techniques to bring out the best in each interviewee, whilst considering narrative segways, key messages, tone, believability, authenticity, energy and editability.

My approach

My approach is entirely client-centric. I collaborate closely with you to understand your project goals, the platforms you’re targeting and the audience you want to attract. I then focus on producing visually compelling content that reflects your brand’s voice and ethos; with clearly defined milestones and feedback loops to ensure you get the work you need.
