Available to hire
Hi, I’m James Kiernan. I’m a London-based audio-visual content creator with a hands-on, end-to-end understanding of film making—from writing and storyboarding to shooting, editing, and post-production. I specialize in producing engaging content for products, services and events, and I love turning complex ideas into clear, compelling stories that connect with audiences.
I’ve worked across production roles, from in-house videography to content strategy and social media marketing, and I bring practical problem-solving, collaborative spirit, and a keen eye for detail to every project.
