About

I am Tyrone Mackay, a film director and VFX supervisor with nearly three decades of experience across feature films, television, and high-end commercials. I founded Heart Media, a film and motion production studio operating across Denmark, the UK, the US, and South Africa, and I built weheart.tv, a cloud-based VFX and compositing pipeline, along with KarmaKroma, a colour grading studio.

I thrive at the intersection of hands-on technical craft and creative leadership, delivering award-winning campaigns for global brands like Apple, Nike, Unilever, and Standard Bank. I develop bespoke pipelines and lead international remote teams, guiding projects from on-set VFX supervision to final delivery.
