Cameraman with professional video camera and headset on set

Jim is a freelance director, Director of Photography (DoP), camera-op and one-stop-shop filmmaker based near Brighton - working nationally, with over a decade’s experience in the industry, for major brands such as Gucci, Hugo Boss, Disney, Red Bull Racing, BT Sport and Bowers & Wilkins.

He is also the founder of Parable Film Co — a video production company that doubles as a kit rental service. This means that, even when hired as a freelancer, Jim can often supply much of the necessary equipment for a production, streamlining the process for clients and production companies.

While Jim frequently collaborates as part of a larger crew, his broad skill set - working previously as a producer, director, DoP, camera operator, and editor - allows him to take on a variety of roles. This versatility makes him a practical and efficient choice, providing a convenient and accomplished solution for personnel and kit.

Owning multiple Canon, Sony and DJI cameras, Jim has also worked with a range of camera systems including ARRI, RED and BlackMagic.
