Common questions
Both. I regularly work as the specialist director/DOP within an agency's existing production process, and I work directly with brand, charity, and NGO comms teams.
Corporate communications, NGO and charity film, automotive, talking heads, and social content — clients include McDonald's, GSK, Vauxhall, the WHO, Humane World for Animals, and CIWF.
