Jack Offord

I am a cinematographer and lighting camera operator, based in Bristol, UK. I am a member of the organisation Bristol Crew as a Director of Photography, and a member of BECTU union. I’m deeply excited by gripping scripts, stellar acting, bold directing, and the buzz of melding minds creatively with talented and unusual people.

I have over a decade of experience shooting films in the worlds of narrative, theatre, dance, and I’ve shot more interviews with B-roll than you can shake a boom pole at. I’m particularly interested in indie features and shorts, focussing on pre-production and developing excellent communication with my collaborators to make films with strong intention and depth. I like the weird stuff and the how-the-hell-are-we-going-to-make-this stuff.

My ‘style’ is fundamentally fluid, fitting the form of the script or production, but if I had to define it I would say I skew towards naturalism. Technically I am very proficient in many different digital cameras,, and I am always looking to learn new skills and techniques – I’m not afraid to experiment and test. I am a Cinematographer because I love telling stories and making films, to me they are the ultimate art form.
