LeakeyStudios is a small, independent production company, based in Nairobi, Kenya. Our passion is to tell compelling human-centred stories that are set within the natural world. We specialise in crafting every unique narrative with warmth and compassion, never shying away from complex topics, but approaching them with sensitively and honesty. We like to work with our storytellers and clients from initial development right through to final delivery, ensuring the process is as collaborative and personal as possible.

Our small team has a combined 15 years of experience producing content for broadcasters, including the BBC, Apple TV and Amazon Prime, as well as an extensive background working alongside international charities and organisations on short documentary series and social-first content. We use cinema grade equipment during production, as well as finishing every project with colour and sound grading in post, to ensure that every story is delivered to the highest standard possible. Whatever the brief, we offer the creative insight and the technical knowledge to bring a story to life.

George Leakey

DoP / Drone / Photographer

George founded LeakeyStudios in 2019. His main passions are wildlife, filmmaking, and sport, and he's never happier than when two or more of those combine. Having operated as a photographer guide, George has extensive knowledge of the Kenyan bush and a deep understanding of wildlife behaviour, meaning he is an incredibly safe and reliable pair of hands when we are telling stories that are set within the natural environment. George's professional career has seen him work on natural history feature films, alongside international sports teams and film with A-list talent. This broad array of experience makes George a multi-faceted and unflappable filmmaker.
