Hi. I’m George.

Based in the UK, but with extensive experience in East Africa, an area which was home since I was a child, I am a filmmaker and photographer. I’ve worked across the region and the world, predominantly on documentary films, whether for TV, brands or not-for-profit. This production company, LeakeyStudios, allows us to crew up and accommodate for a variety of projects. I am an owner-operator with; extensive kit available for a variety of requirements, a KCAA drone licence, vehicle and a comprehensive contact list to help in any situation. Alongside Milly Martin our Producer/Director, who having been on the BBC’s roster for a number of years, is our go to on storytelling. She is experienced at delivering all aspects of production to an exceptional standard particularly when under extreme pressure. She is also familiar with our camera system. With a masters degree in journalism, her communication, hard work and diligence make her an absolute mainstay in all of our productions.

We have set out our stall on being truly authentic to the story, with a desire to be uncompromisingly ethical, from trusting local talent when choosing who we bring on shoots to giving the microphone to those who need it, not who just want it. We’re driven by a desire to showcase the places, people and situations we encounter to the highest quality possible, yet truthfully.

We specialise in bringing authentic stories to life, whether that be natural history, sport or human stories. Everything from the equipment and tech know-how to real world experiences is also brought into the process, from pre-production to post.
