About

Do you have a unique and compelling story to tell? Do you want to harness the power of video to do so? You are in the right place.

Branding is so much more than just a nice font and a logo - it is more than a few colours and a savvy name. A good brand evokes feeling, and allows people to connect, and there are few more powerful ways to do this than with video.

A well-crafted brand film allows you to tell your brand story with eloquence and creativity. It invites your audience in to see who you are and what value your brand gives them. People can connect with your message and understand a story that goes beyond just words.

Hi there,

I’m Iris, a freelance filmmaker & video content creator with over 10 years of experience in the video production industry.

Originally from Vienna I’m partial to good cake and coffee. I live in Kent with my husband and our lurcher Willow - only 35 minutes from London which makes it the ideal base for any video content creation, video editing projects and brand video shoots all over the UK and Europe.

I’ve worked with clients like Habitat, The Royal Horticultural Society, Made.com, Hewlett-Packard and IBM and filmed high profile celebrities like Michel Roux Jr and Russell Brand.

I know how to tell a story well, produce engaging content and love being involved in the whole video production process from start to finish. Not only am I skilled to manage the complete creative workflow for a wide range of audio-visual content but I also have an excellent sense of pace and timing, as well as the ability to visualise the written/spoken word.

Video is a diverse and adaptable art form. So whether you are a heritage brand looking to bring your company’s history to life, you sell delicious food and want to proudly showcase your quality produce, or even if you are an artisan who would like to invite potential customers into your studio to unveil how your exquisite pieces are being made - video is the perfect medium!

I thrive on telling people’s stories through video, and work closely with clients to deliver high-quality results, with a powerful message, on budget and on time.

Let me tell your story!

Corporate doesn't have to mean boring and small business films don't have to look low-budget - I create beautiful video content for big and small brands alike.

Crafting a film from scratch and 'seeing an idea coming together' thrills me and I love tailoring bespoke video solutions for each client.

Crafted Films offers a streamlined service for everyone who wants something more personal than they'd get from a bigger agency - video production with feeling and a keen eye for detail to bring your story to life.

Whether you are launching a new service or extending your product range, video is the perfect medium to drum up some interest and promote your latest venture to potential customers and clients.

You have invested in a professional wesite and your online presence is beautifully thought through but you are missing the final piece of the puzzle - let's explore how video can elevate your brand!

Kind words from previous clients

'I can highly recommend Iris for her high degree of professionalism on every project we have partnered on. She has a strong understanding of storytelling and is very organised when it comes to content production and getting key logistical elements in place.

She also has great attention to detail and when it comes to the final “on-air” product - manages to ensure that messages are told in a clever, visual manner. Having spent long periods of time on the road with Iris doing overseas jobs, she is also great company and calm at times of challenge. I cannot recommend her highly enough.'

RICHARD GRIFFITHS
Director, Strategic Communications at Ketchum

'We worked with Iris on several short films used to promote our community gardening programmes, and to support our community network. She was a delight to work with.

From the early conceptual stages to the finished products, Iris was insightful, creative, efficient and highly professional – with a keen eye on ensuring that we created what we set out to. I highly recommend her.'

EMILY BRAHAM
Senior Communications Coordinator, RHS

'I can't stress how important it is to find an expert like Iris to guide you through this. No matter how amazing you think your iPhone is, your video isn't going to turn out well unless you have all the components correct.

We all learn this lesson at some point. Save yourself from learning this the hard way and get Iris's help!'

KRISTINA HUDDART
Marketing technology consultant

'Working with Iris was such a dream. She is so hard working and knowledgeable. She designed an amazing opening sequence to my yoga videos only using old videos I had filmed on my phone (because of COVID we couldn't meet in person).

It looked extremely professional and I am thrilled with the result. On top of this she edited pretty much every video on my new app really efficiently and I am so happy with the final videos. I can't wait to meet Iris in person and work more together in future.'
