  I specialise in documentary-style educational films and instructional content. I regularly capture footage in schools and colleges, and have developed a range of effective and non-intrusive techniques for filming participants in various work environments, including schools, colleges, gyms and offices. I am regularly called upon to shoot direct-to-camera interviews, presentations and online workshop content. I also produce: 🎬 Promotional and branded content. 🎬 Filmed lectures, demonstrations and events. 🎬 Social media teasers and product testimonials. With a fully-equipped mobile production studio I am able to effectively shoot video content at a convenient location of your choice. I am able to travel nationally here in The Netherlands and internationally. Find our more @ redcurtain.studio
