Working with #SirJonathanPryce on this one was a real highlight.

Oscar-nominated… and absolutely none of that energy on set.
Just up for it - playing a version of himself, riffing, reshaping, finding it in the moment 🎭

That space between structure and spontaneity… always where the good stuff lives.
These @omazeuk shoots are a bit special like that.
Good people, good energy, everyone wanting to be there ❤️

Big ❤️ to @transmissionproductions @alzheimerssoc & the #omaze teams that made it happen 🙌
👏 @freddie_seaward & JJ for #producing + @adamkailampard for raising the bar and, as always @tom_steedman for making it pretty #Directing #FilmDirector #ComedyDirector #PerformanceLed #FreelanceDirector #UKDirector #DirectingActors #Collaboration #CreativeCollaboration #GoodPeopleGreatWork #CreativeProcess #TrustTheProcess #BetterSetCulture #NoEgo #LeadWithEnergy

Round two with @dfs .. winter edition ❄️ Started as a mock-doc thing & grown into a full blown comedy world - more characters, more room to play.

Shot over a couple of busy days in a (closed) store, building out not just these films but a whole bunch of sketches and social bits around them.

Lots of improv, lots of collaboration, and letting the characters lead the comedy. Big ❤️ to @jungle_creations 👊 and #DFS for trusting my process and letting me loose. @gemma.l.hall @ninasmale @mollytappin @jezebel.carr @riah_skeldon @sharinamaibruno_ @janelliebelliee @jamesoldhamdop @callumtoms #Directing #Comedy #BrandedContent #Filmmaking #Performance #Advertising #Creative #CommercialDirector #ComedyDirector #ContentCreation #Storytelling #OnSet #ProductionLife #CreativeIndustry #AdCampaign #SocialContent #TVCommercials
