We’re a film-production company based in London and Brighton. Our work takes us from the South-East of England to the United States and all over Europe. We are visual storytellers, using film to tell the stories of the brands, companies and individuals we work with. Our work covers TV Ads, Youtube Preroll, Lifestyle films, Short-form documentary, Music Videos and more.
Our films are cinematic and distinct, using our skillset to create an aesthetic that tells your story in the best way. We want to hear from you and tell your story, bringing to life your vision in a stylish, exciting way.
Our approach starts with listening – listening to you and hearing what it is you want to say. Then research, this might be looking into style and approach that may suit you – not all films need huge crews, so we work as a small crew or crews as large as 12 people for some shoots. It’s all about making the project work for you and approaching it with a creative-lead technique.
For most projects, we offer full production, which means we handle everything. Pre-production – Script, Storyboard, Locations, Casting. Production – Crew, Styling, Make-Up, Craft Services, Locations, Transport. Post-Production – Offline Edit, Sound Design, Colour Grade, Online Edit. We can provide this to almost any specs you might require and provide a full start to finish service.
A lot of our work involves a much smaller production level, though this doesn’t stop us achieving beautiful results with rich and vibrant stories. Our desire to always do your story and project justice is what drives us. We don’t want to walk over old ground again and again, instead we aim for every project to be our most beautiful yet.
Sometimes, all you need is a crew. We offer crewing services and work with some excellent crews. We can help you organise Department Heads including Cinematographers, Gaffers, Production Designers all the way to camera assistants, make-up artists, sparks, anything you might need.
We are proud of our focus on working as a collective. Our approach is to present the right creative people to lead the right projects. We also take pride in working with a driven, creative and talented group who devote themselves to becoming the best at their craft. You may notice that many members of our team work across more than one discipline and our collective structure allows them to thrive.
Jonathan founded Other Finger Films 11 years ago straight out of university. While Jonathan started his film life as a director, he then started to shoot more and more as a cinematographer and has worked with very large crews as both a director and cinematographer. Jonathan tries to create a style that is cinematic, regardless of the subject matter. His prime interest is people and that is what leads his work. Jonathan is happiest when working with people.

Faye is new to the team and we’re only just started collaborating, but Faye brings a fresh approach and a unique style. In her personal work, Faye is interested in creating iconic characters and stories that have their own canon.

Rushil is another new addition to the team. Rushil serves a number of roles and has a number of years experience as a 1st AC (focus puller) on a huge variety of shoots, so steps in as a focus puller on some shoots. Rushil has worked as a cinematographer on a couple of smaller shoots and when you see his eye for light and composition, it’s easy to see why he steps into the director of photography role with such ease.

Joe started with us as a runner; with a degree in media though, Joe quickly proved that he could work in a number of departments. However, Joe has now firmly established himself as a solid 1st AC and camera operator. Like all our team though Joe is a creative at heart and works on pre-production as well as edits as well as his own personal projects outside the company and has started to work directly on the look of pieces and DOP a number of pieces for us.
