Sam Rookes Email & Phone Number

I’m a UK-based freelance director and editor working in commercials, branded content, narrative fiction and music videos. For me, filmmaking is about conceiving and executing robust, atmospheric pieces of work that take audiences on immersive and emotive journeys. My work has taken me all over the world - I’ve lead projects and campaigns in Cape Town, Seoul, LA, Detroit, Kenya, Darjeeling and all across Europe.I started my career in scripted comedy at BBC Three, from there I’ve honed my craft both on set and in the edit suite working with clients including Aston Martin, Land Rover, Trustpilot, Bloomsbury, Channel 4 & Save The Children. I pride myself on my collaborative nature and my ability to connect with people. As a director it’s my job to take your project from inception to delivery, ensuring your message is conveyed as clearly and concisely as you need in a highly impactful way. As an editor I’m here to piece the jigsaw together, tell your story in the best way and fulfil your creative vision.I love filmmaking and immersing myself in a multitude of projects, I split my time between commercial and self-driven passion projects, which has resulted in an eclectic body of work of which I’m immensely proud. My films have won a variety of awards and accolades, including a prestigious Vimeo Staff Pick for the spoken-word protest film WAKE UP.I’m available for hire as a director and editor, if you have a project you’d like discuss please get in contact.

Listed skills include Video Production, Film, Video Editing, Video Post Production, and 9 others.
