Available to hire
Hi, I’m Odin Gillies—a BAFTA-winning self-shooting producer, director and edit producer with a track record across high-profile factual and entertainment formats. I excel in working with sensitive subjects, coordinating multi-camera shoots, and building collaborative crews that deliver strong stories on tight schedules.
I love shaping content from on-location shoots through to the edit suite, bringing clear storytelling, practical production sense, and a calm, professional approach to talent and contributors. My career spans location scouting, complex scheduling, and managing large teams, and I’m comfortable navigating freelance and broadcast production environments to deliver compelling, well-crafted programmes.
