Services
Corporate & Brand Video
Brand films, recruitment videos and training content for organisations that want their inclusion to show in how the work is made, not just in what it says.
In short
- I make videos for businesses and organisations.
- Brand films, recruitment and training videos, and events.
- I run shoots the way TV productions do: properly planned, on time and safe.
- Accessible versions come as standard.
What I make
Brand films
Who you are and why it matters, told with a cinematic eye rather than a stock-footage montage.
Recruitment & employer brand
Real staff, real workplaces. Films that help the right people picture themselves working for you.
Training & internal comms
Clear, watchable training content that people actually finish.
Events
Conferences, launches and awards, filmed and cut quickly for the people who couldn't be there.
Explainers
What your product or service does, in plain language.
Aerial
Licensed drone operator with my own kit. Permissions and risk assessments handled.
Inclusion you can see
A lot of diversity, equity and inclusion content is made by crews who've never had to think about access. It shows. Coastal Drift is disability-led: the person behind the camera is disabled, and the way the film gets made is part of the message.
That's not about box-ticking. It's about films your staff recognise as true.
Run like a proper set
I trained as an assistant director through ScreenSkills' HETV Trainee Finder and have worked on Beyond Paradise, Horrible Science, The Great British Bake Off, The Great British Sewing Bee, the Sky Arts Awards and a Radox commercial.
That means call sheets, schedules, risk assessments and a set that runs to time, so filming disrupts your working day as little as possible. I hold the Mark Milsome Film & TV Safety Passport and I'm albert sustainability trained.
Ready for your accessibility obligations
If you're a public sector body, the accessibility regulations expect captions on the video you publish. Every film I deliver comes with captions and a transcript, and audio description is available, so your files are ready to go live.
How it works
Step 1: Talk
We start with a conversation in whatever way suits you: email, phone, or a video call with captions on. No pressure and no jargon.
Step 2: Plan
A short questionnaire, a clear plan and a schedule. I ask about everyone's access needs up front, on both sides of the camera.
Step 3: Film
A small crew and a calm set. Days are planned around the people in the film, not the other way round.
Step 4: Edit
You see the cut, tell me what's working and what isn't, and we refine it together.
Step 5: Deliver
Every format you need, with the accessible versions included as standard rather than added on.
Included with every film
Accessible as standard
Captions
Accurate, human-checked captions on every version — as a separate file and burnt in for social media.
Transcript
A full text transcript, including descriptions of important sounds and what's on screen.
Audio description
A described version for blind and partially sighted viewers, available on request.
BSL
British Sign Language interpretation can be arranged and built into the budget.
Questions
Can you film at our offices or site?
Yes. I'll recce beforehand, work to your site rules, and plan the day so teams can keep working around the shoot.
Do we need a script?
No. I can work from interviews and build the story in the edit, or help you write a script if the film needs one.
Can we have versions for social media and our website?
Yes. One shoot can give you a main film plus shorter vertical and square cuts, all captioned.
Can you film from a drone?
Yes. I'm a licensed drone operator with my own equipment, and I'll handle the permissions and paperwork.
Planning a film?
Tell me what it's for, who needs to see it and when. I'll come back with a straightforward plan and a quote.
