My name is Aidan Joseph and I'm a filmmaker based in Sheffield. I work with businesses and musicians to create compelling, captivating video content that demands the attention of their audiences. I am particularly passionate about documentary filmmaking, and I try to utilise those techniques when working with brands to promote their stories. I am also heavily influenced by music, and I find that this is reflected in the rhythm and pacing of my films. I am a competent solo-shooter, but also work well as part of bigger crews. Although I specialise in camera-work, I have always been heavily involved in every step of the production process. I am also a very experienced video editor, with hundreds of productions under my belt.

Over my 8 years of experience, I’ve mastered lighting setups and worked with various lighting equipment, edited videos and sound, and crafted soundscapes. My work was recognized when I received an award for best documentary film in 2019. However, life threw its challenges, and due to the war, I had to relocate and change my job. Moving to the UK, I worked as a bartender in a rural area, but my passion for cinema never waned. I brought along only the essentials and earned enough to move to Liverpool and start my career anew. This journey has not only sharpened my skills but also instilled in me inner strength and confidence. I’m ready for new challenges and opportunities that come my way, eagerly anticipating further achievements in the world of cinema.
