Directors for hire

A good director is the difference between footage and a film. Ours come with the studio's name on the line.

What you're buying

Judgement, mostly. Where the camera goes, what the day prioritises when time runs short, which take is the one. The directors in our network have shot in this building for years, which means less time finding the shot and more time getting it.

How booking works

Send the brief. We shortlist one to three directors with reels relevant to your genre. You pick, we contract, and the director joins your production from prep through delivery. If the job shoots here, stage and crew come on the same quote.

Questions we get asked

What kinds of work do your directors cover?

Commercials, brand films, music videos, factual and interview-led content. Tell us the brief and we match the director to the genre, with reels to review before you commit.

Can a director help develop the idea?

Yes. Most jobs that come to us as 'we need a video' leave as a treatment, a shot list and a schedule. Director involvement at the development stage is quoted by the day or rolled into the production.

What does a director cost?

Indicative from £750/day depending on experience and scope. Prep and treatment days are quoted separately from shoot days.
