JOHN RUSSELL

London based Producer Director

I’m John, a filmmaker with nearly 20 years of experience working in television on shows for Netflix to the BBC.

I live in North London with my wife and our two children. When I’m not filming or editing, most of my time is spent with my family — whether that’s getting out and about, enjoying a quiet weekend together, or simply making the most of family life.

Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to film a huge variety of stories, people and situations, learning how to anticipate a moment before it happens and tell a story through the smallest details.

Work Seen Across TV, Film & Beyond

With experience across television, corporate productions and charity films, I’ve had the opportunity to work on a wide range of projects throughout the UK. My work has included productions such as Escape to the Country, Police Interceptors, Crimewatch and Naked Attraction, as well as bespoke corporate and charity films.

I’m also a licensed drone operator with an A2 Qualification and full insurance, with experience flying across the UK for a variety of companies and productions. Whether capturing aerial footage, supporting a television production or creating engaging content for a business or charity, I bring professional experience and a creative approach to every project.
