Producer / Director
in London, UK

As a self-shooting Producer / Director based in London, I feel fortunate to have spent the past 15 years creating films for global brands, charities and organisations across the UK and around the world. Every project begins in the same way: with curiosity. Before thinking about cameras, lighting or locations, I take time to understand the people, purpose and moments that sit at the heart of the story. It's an approach rooted in documentary filmmaking and one that allows every film to feel honest, thoughtful and uniquely its own.

Whether I'm producing branded documentaries, charity campaigns or corporate films, I believe the strongest stories are built on trust rather than performance. Clients value a calm, dependable approach, strong visual storytelling and an ability to put people at ease, creating the space for genuine moments to emerge naturally on camera. The result is work that feels considered, human and emotionally engaging, while always remaining true to the people and organisations at the centre of the story.

Selected Work

  • BSI - Human Stories Video Series

    This ongoing series explores the human stories behind business certification, following organisations working with BSI to build trust, create positive change and support long-term success.

    Rather than focusing on compliance, the films place people at the centre, uncovering the individuals whose work, values and purpose shape every story told.

    Corporate Video

  • Trekstock - Life After Diagnosis

    Produced as part of a collaboration between Fujifilm and Trekstock, this film captures the personal reflections of cancer survivors featured in a portrait exhibition at the Fujifilm House of Photography.

    Filmed behind the scenes, the conversations explore life beyond diagnosis, resilience and survivorship, giving voice to the people behind the photographs and their experiences.

    Charity Campaigns

  • Fujifilm - Rebecca Douglas in iceland

    Filmed across Iceland for Fujifilm, this documentary follows photographer Rebecca Douglas as she explores dramatic landscapes while putting the latest X Series camera through its paces in the field.

    Rather than focusing solely on the technology, the film celebrates curiosity, creativity and the relationship between photographer and place, revealing the moments that exist beyond the frame.

AWARD WINNING FILMMAKER

British Silver Arrow Award
for Volkswagen: Erum’s Story

I’m honoured that Erum’s Story — a film I directed, shot and edited for Volkswagen’s Yourwagen campaign has been recognised with a Silver Arrow at the British Arrows Awards in the Automotive category.

This project meant a great deal to me. As a self-shooting director and editor, I had the opportunity to help share Erum’s experience with honesty and care. Working on this film reminded me why I’m drawn to this kind of work: finding the human thread in someone’s story and shaping it into something that resonates.

FEATURE-LENGTH EXPERIENCE

Count Me In
Feature-Length Documentary

Count Me In celebrates the spirit of drumming and the people who dedicate their lives to rhythm. The film follows a cast of drummers as they reflect on their journeys — from childhood beginnings to performing on some of the world’s biggest stages — and on the musicians who influenced them along the way.

I worked on the documentary as the main DOP of the UK production team, contributing to the film’s interview-led, story-driven approach. Projects like this strongly reflect the style of work I’m drawn to: real people, open conversations, and stories shaped through lived experience.

    Every time we've worked with Chris he's exceeded our expectations. His versatility and technical ability really stand out. He can adapt to any type of brief you send his way and I’m happy to say he's one of the videographers we work with most regularly!

    We've been working with Chris for six years now and keep coming back to him with projects. His way of telling our stories and attention to detail have given our content a beautiful, consistent look that feels in line with the quality of our brand and products.

  • Catherine Rose - Film Producer, Director & Consultant

    Chris is a sensitive filmmaker who can work well in challenging situations. I've worked on shoots with him in hot, hectic slums in India, and in busy hospitals in the UK and Tanzania where he has always been able to take a calm and professional approach.
