Discover Top Non-Fiction Film Directors in Luton, United Kingdom

I'm a freelance filmmaker working from London. I specialise in working with public sector and third sector clients, telling stories with clarity and concision. I've been freelancing for around six years, and have worked with clients including Samaritans, KPMG, Film London, Book Aid, Mencap, Anthony Nolan and many others. I make a range of types of film, from simple short-form content for social media, to larger-scale campaign pieces. I can work both as part of a team or solo, and regularly carry out a range of roles, including directing, interviewing, filming, editing and storyboarding. I most enjoy telling stories about people, and believe the best films are ones that feel authentic, and are full of small, human moments.
