FREDDIE MARSHALL
I've worked as a professional filmmaker now for just over three years, but i've been passionate about the art form since I bought my first camera at 14.
​
My first projects were filmed whilst I was at school, including promotional videos for local charities, experimental shorts, and documentaries.
​
After finishing school I attended Bristol University to study an undergraduate degree in Film and Television, from which I graduated with first class honours. During my time at university I began to grow my name and experience as a professional freelance filmmaker, working on both corporate and commercial projects, as well as independent art-films. I worked on these alongside projects created for my university course which included three short films, all of which I directed
​
In 2022 I worked as Director of Photography on the feature film The Broken Arrow, an independent British comedy about a one-armed darts player. Whilst low budget, and only my second feature film job, the experience I gained from working on a set where time was expensive and communication vital was invaluable. The first feature I DoP'd was called My Constant Shadow which explored an MS diagnosis, shot with zero budget. Again the skeleton crew and opportunity to work closely with the Director was incredibly beneficial. I learnt the importance of on-set positivity, problem solving and adaptability where uncontrollable situations or difficulties can easily arise.
​Using this learnt experience, I recently decided to write and direct my first formal project: a short film called Flat. A comedy drama about a pair of flat earthers, called Colin and Wayne, that follows their attempts to prove the earth's 'true' shape. I was also Director of Photography for the project (stills from which you can see on the home page of my website) as well as co-editor. It is now in early stages of development for a potential TV series. ​
​
I am also an experienced corporate and commercial filmmaker, working for companies such as Dramanon and Earth Trust. I have produced training videos, promotional films, and adverts.
​
I have also developed my own approach to filming 'table reads'. An approach that involves a close understanding of the script being read and reflects the beats and motions of that story in the shot size and movement of the multiple cameras capturing the reading.
​
I also have experience in Music Video production.
There is a link to Flat, my most recent project, on the home page of my website if you would like to see an example of my most recent work.
