Discover Top Commercial DPs in Luton, United Kingdom

I spent my formative years studying first Fine Arts in Italy and then obtaining a degree and masters in Neuroscience from the University of Manchester, England. I then came to filmmaking as a natural consequence of my interest in both art and the natural world. This unusual and diverse background means I feel comfortable with both the technical and aesthetic side of filming and photography, but also with the most rigorous and scientific attitude required in the research of wildlife documentaries. Having travelled extensively and witnessed first hand some of the destruction caused by human exploitation of the natural environment, I feel very strongly about environmental protection and use film as a medium to tell some of the most important and compelling stories about conservation. My most recent work (Trapped) is concerned with illegal bird trapping in Cyprus and has been selected and awarded at various festivals in Europe.

Rizky Rahadianto is an independent filmmaker with over six years of experience working with international media around the world, such as VICE, HBO (“The Last Cruise”), Netflix (“Human Playground”), Fairtrade (“Farmers”), Discovery (“Mystery of the Abandoned”), and Vox, among others. His work seeks to reimagine Indonesia’s hetero-patriarchal narrative through intimate collaborations with marginalized communities, from a Javanese dance troupe reviving an ancient drag tradition, to Timorese women tattooing themselves to survive sexual slavery. As a queer filmmaker himself, Rizky's ultimate goal is to create more space for nuanced minority representations and push for a more visually-just society. Rizky joined VICE as a senior producer in 2016 when the youth media company expanded to Indonesia. He helped build the Indonesia office’s video department from scratch, producing over 50 documentaries, and growing the channel from zero to over 500,000 subscribers in two years through popular series like Indonesia Riot, Akarasa, and Indopop. Since Rizky left VICE in 2019, he has continued producing content for various international media as a freelancer and screening his work at film festivals around the world, such as South by Southwest Film Festival and Jogja-NETPAC Asian Film Festival.
