As both a self-shooting director and an editor, I have had the pleasure of working with some fantastic organisations. From distilling the ethos of small businesses and inspiring grassroots NGOs to sharing the latest initiatives from renowned names, I use my storytelling skills to create engaging content for my clients.

PRESENTER LED EXPLAINER

Looking to distil a complex topic into a short, easy-to-follow video? I have worked as an editor on a series of short explainer videos, combining presenter-led discussion with archive and graphics.

In this example, Devex, a media platform designed for the global development community, wanted to create a video outlining the latest industry news on Special Drawing Rights for its community of over a million professionals across the health, humanitarian, and sustainability sectors.

I regularly assist Devex with editing their content and collaborating with globally renowned organisations, some of which you will find below.

CAMPAIGNS

Sharing our experiences can help break down the stigma or misunderstandings around some of the most unspoken topics. In this example made for Roche in collaboration with NHS trusts and Jo's Cervical Cancer Trust, strangers are brought together to have an honest, authentic conversation about cervical screenings. From faux pas to what to expect, the video aims to help break down barriers and encourage more people to attend their appointments.

INTERVIEW LED EXPLAINER

Looking to establish yourself as a source of the latest industry updates? I have worked as an editor on a series of 2-5-minute explainer videos, combining expert interviews and archive to bring various international development subjects to life.

In this example, Devex brought together experts in water and sanitation from some of the world's top NGO's to discuss the many competing priorities on current global agendas and how WASH organisations can ensure the issue resonates with those who can help advance progress.

CHAMPION CSR

Do you have a CSR project you would like a wider audience to be aware of? A branded documentary-style short can help spread the word on the social change your project is instigating. In the example below, doctors and patients share how an innovative program from Johnson & Johnson has improved the lives of HIV patients in rural Uganda. For more on this story, you can check out the multimedia piece here.

FOUNDER STORY

Share your organisation's origin story with a short doc-style piece. In this example Matt Cook, founder of Cook Efoiling, shares his passion for the spectacular surroundings of Lake Tahoe and the new and unique sport of efoiling.

  • "Samantha is hardworking, patient, discreet but most importantly very talented. In our time working together she’s been able to multitask at all times. Our project was archive intensive and throughout Samantha remained highly organised and calm under pressure. Samantha handled her responsibilities as an assistant editor while also taking on creative tasks to help craft the edit, even attacking the opening sequence of our documentary. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her for future projects."

    Senior Producer Devex

  • "I had the pleasure of working with Samantha when she co-directed a series of documentaries with me, here in Barcelona from 2017 - 2018. Samantha is a truly talented and innovative professional, with a work ethic and creativity that will see her strive in the industry. Since starting out as a freelancer, I've also had the chance to witness her work and she continues to make a significant impact in both documentary, and ethical commercial filmmaking. I can't recommend Samantha highly enough for any audiovisual challenge that you might face."

    John English

    Director OTOXO Productions

  • "Working with Samantha was effortless - she seamlessly and professionally took a vision and produced a film that so wonderfully captured the heart of Yoga Quota. We would work with her again in a heartbeat, and can only praise her eye and careful attention to detail."

    Harriet McAtee

    CEO Yoga Quota

  • "Samantha is extremely talented, creative, and hard-working - definitely an asset on any team. We worked together on the short film 'Casas sin familias' and she always had an incredible eye for detail and gave invaluable input that made our project all the better. Samantha is also a very skilled camera operator. When it came to our project, she had a knack for finding the best shots in challenging conditions and seamlessly weaving them into the story we were telling."
