About James
James is a filmmaker based in the Channel Island of Guernsey and offers a global service creating engaging, high-quality films.
James on location
Over the past five years his work has taken him around the world producing a variety of content for clients.
James graduated from Portsmouth University in 2009 at the age of 27, gaining a 1st class BA (Hons.) degree in TV & Film Production, winning a Royal Television Society documentary award in the same year for the short film Mark.
His interest in filmmaking began at the age of 14, producing BMX extreme-sports videos. Documenting this fast-action sport proved a fantastic learning curve and taught him fundamental skills that he uses to this day.
Although he still loves to shoot action sports, he has diversified to cover a wide range of content including documentary, promotional and corporate work. He always strives to convey engaging narrative while keeping production values high.
He became a full-time filmmaker in the summer of 2014 and soon began production on his first feature-length, award-winning documentary. Sea Donkey, which was released in 2017, has seen worldwide sales.
In his spare time James enjoys swimming and in 2016 he swam the English Channel.
