Stories shaped by people, made for brands, charities & agencies.

As a self-shooting Producer / Director based in London, I feel fortunate to have worked all across the UK and the world creating films for global brands, charities and organisations. For the past 15 years, I've told stories through a documentary lens, taking time to understand the people, purpose and moments that make every project distinctive.

Whether I'm producing branded documentaries, charity campaigns or corporate films, I focus on creating work that feels genuine, considered and engaging. Clients value a calm, dependable approach, strong visual storytelling, and the ability to help people feel comfortable, allowing honest moments to emerge naturally on camera.

    This ongoing series explores the human stories behind business certification. Each film focuses on a different organisation partnering with BSI, showing how standards help companies grow responsibly, build trust, and stay true to their values.

    VolksWagen - Erum's Story

    Erum's story with his cherished Volkswagen T2 Devon Moonraker, a family heirloom filled with memories, took an unexpected turn when it was stolen right from his driveway.

    This incident sent him on a journey for years of uncertainty and hope. Remarkably, Erum spotted the distinctive camper, recognisable by its unique custom modifications done by his father, parked in Peckham.

BRAND DOCUMENTARY

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 DOCUMENTARY

Count Me In
Feature-Length Documentary
On Netflix

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!
