Born and raised in the film industry, Warren MacCarthy consistently builds narratives that touch audiences on a deep emotive level. He’s able to identify the core message and uniquely weave that in an engaging story, whether a TVC, documentary or PSA. Some directors can edit, but few have a professional background in commercial and broadcast editing. He's conducted countless interviews over the years, with luminaries such as Annie Lennox, Joanne Leffson, Francois Pienaar. He's produced, filmed and directed scores of documentary and corporate videos for clients that include Springer Nature, CNN, The Weather Channel, Greencape, and Great Big Story.
