“A huge thank you to Gregory Blake for generously donating his time and talent to create a series of films for The Prostate Project, spotlighting ground-breaking research exploring bacterial microbiomes and prostate cancer.”
“With a strong creative vision and a sharp eye for storytelling, Gregory captured the energy, emotion and impact of our Scholarship Reception - creating a film that truly brings the power of scholarships to life. From filming on the night to interviewing scholars and donors, Gregory embraced the challenge with enthusiasm, professionalism and skill.”
I’m a filmmaker based in Surrey, working across London and the UK. I direct, shoot and edit, and handle postproduction grading and visual effects. I’m drawn to projects that are willing to be bold and experimental: narrative work, and documentary about people and the things they’re trying to build or hold onto.
I studied Film and Television Production at the University of East Anglia, graduating with First Class Honours, and I’m BAFTA albert certified in sustainable production. I bring the same approach to commissioned work for charities, universities and local businesses, whether that’s a documentary, a campaign that needs to work in two aspect ratios, or an event that only happens once. I work end to end, from concept to delivery. Available for commissions and crew work.
