Industry Experience

Media & Entertainment, Professional Services
    Bad Boys in Disneyland
    This fantastic TV commercial for Disneyland, Paris, was directed by Willem Gerritsen (at Czar productions, Amsterdam). The film follows a group of grumpy misfits on a surprise trip to Disneyland Paris; they moan and gripe and bicker all the way there, but on arrival they try to stay grumpy, but they can't and slowly but surely they all start to smile, laugh and even start to skip with joy on meeting their favourite Disney characters...
    Sainsburys Tu clothing- Summer Of Love
    This TV commercial for the summer collection of Sainsburys Tu was created by Portas (att Candy Carter). The cast was a combination of street cast and pro dancers. I won 'Best Casting of a Commercial' with this video, at the CDA awards.
    All Boobs Welcome - Sainsburys Tu
    This campaign for Sainsbury's Tu, lingerie, was created by Candy Carter at Portas and once again was entirely street cast. photo
    'Can't Believe the Way We Flow' - James Blake
    This music video for James Blake was directed by Frank Lebon and produced by Nat Baring.... the very large, diverse cast was entirely street cast by us. video
    Sony headphones 'The Way'
    This first Sony (sounds) campaign was shot (moving image and print) by sam Hicks, at Wyatt Clarke Jones. We street cast everyone who appeared in the video due to their looks, their personal style and their specific talent (we have 3 x MCs, 2 x DJs, a singer, 4 x dancers). video advert
    Italian Vogue 'Thinking of a Glamorous Time
    This beautiful fashion film was shot by Ellen Von Unwerth
    'Russian Wedding' Smirnoff commercial
    This INCREDIBLE commercial was directed by Vaughan & Anthea (a directing duo) and despite this basically being a street casting, I found them some amazing people.... the cast includes Barry Kamen, Alex Turnbull (Ronin), Jason Statham(!!), Isobella Blow, Susie Bick (Nick Cave's wife) and many more... advert
    Sam Wise music video for 'First Little Rollie'
    Directed by Elliot Simpson & produced by Ben Pengilly at Park Village, we street cast the entire cast in this cool video for a brilliant track!
    Mount Kimble video 'Delta'
    This stylish, modern music video for the band Mount Kimble was shot by the very successful director/photographer Frank Lebon. The cast were all street cast talent and in fact the video won a number of awards! filmdirector video
    Sony 'Linkbud Open'
    This film is also shot by Ben Stockley at Camera Club, but unlike Linkbud Fit which featured primarily skateboarders, Linkbud Open features runners (again all were street cast).
    Everyman
    Directed by Sophie Jones at Partizan Productions I street cast this beautiful film about the relationship between music and film, made to show before the movie at all Everyman cinemas.
    'Barbie Party' for VS Magazine
    Directed & photographed by Ellen Von Unwerth (famous for her extremely sexy style of shooting), this fashion shoot was produced about 8 years before Margot Robbie's movie 'Barbie' came out. I had to cast models who were able to move like dolls, not humans and I reckon we achieved that objective... editorial fashionfilm video fashion barbie
