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 15 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
Having worked together for a number of years, across a range of projects, I cannot recommend Iris highly enough.
Aside from being professional, organised and so easy to work with, Iris' creativity shines through in everything she produces. She understands what we need from a film (even when we don't know ourselves) and always delivers honest, beautiful and sensitive stories.
I can trust that a day on set with the Crafted Films team will be a smooth and enjoyable one! Everyone is always on time, prepared, and ready for a full day of filming. When conducting interviews Iris' calm, confident attitude puts everyone at ease - both in front of and behind the camera.
I am always confident that final films will be delivered on time and edited to a very high standard. There is a strong sense of place, people and story in all the videos that Iris has created for us and we love the authenticity that each has to it's subjects. They all show a deep understanding of our needs, as well as representing everyone involved perfectly.

Iris is an incredibly skilled film-maker. She has planned, filmed and edited a number of films in collaboration with us for our clients and they have always landed incredibly well. They are always beautifully composed and bring across a very human story. Beyond that, she's a joy to work with. She always comes with ideas and plenty of advice and her commitment to the best result is evident throughout the entire process. We love working with Iris!

Working with Iris on our Kickstarter video for the baby sound machine we invented was fantastic. From the get-go, she was super friendly and really understood our vision. She took our ideas and had great suggestions to make these even better.
On filming day, she was amazing—especially given a newborn baby was involved! She was patient and made the most of what we had, which made the whole process easy and fun.
The final video blew us away. It was even better than we had hoped and was worth every penny. You can tell she loves what she does. We'd work with her again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone needing a great video.

'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!'

'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.'
