Matt Freestone
Multi-Camera Director | Camera Operator
I'm a friendly, creative and collaborative multi-camera studio and outside broadcast director and camera operator that loves to work with talented teams to make successful and engaging television for broadcast, corporate events and streaming. I have thirty years' experience in the UK industry working on live news, current affairs, magazine programmes, sports presentation, children's, and large-scale events. I’ve also taught and mentored broadcast camera and director teams internationally. Have a look at some of my production credits, showreels, industry testimonials, and please do get in touch if you’d like to work on a programme or other project together. I’ll buy the coffee!
