Michael Westcott Films

A little bit about me - Over the past 10 years of working in the film industry, I have developed my shooting style into what it is today.

It is my mission to provide discreet filmmaking to ensure a relaxed and natural atmosphere, which allows me to create honest and engaging films. It’s about much more than simply filming the events of the day - I aim to capture all the intricate details and emotions that make any event truly special. The end result is a film which tells a story and gives you the chance to relive those beautiful moments.

STORYTELLING - IT’S IN MY BLOOD!

I have directed music videos for multiple artists and have been commissioned for commercial films for companies like Inspiring Scotland, Calmac, Argyll Holidays, Stramash, Oban Times and Oban Live. My film “A year in the life of Stramash” won the best film judges award at Peebles Outdoor Film Festival. I’d like to think that the variety gives me a unique style and approach to each project. I aim to create films with feeling.

I am a CAA certified Drone Operator ready to tackle any needs from flying in iconic parts of London to the highlands of Scotland. I enjoy flying and I am always looking for that different perspective.

Alongside my video work, I also film and photograph wildlife in their natural habitat. I really enjoy being outside and connecting with nature. A few exotic places I have explored whilst searching for wildlife are Portugal, The Amazon Jungle and Australia. Some of my work can be found on my wildlife Instagram page @wildlifewestphotography as well as my Wildlife Page.

I also have keen interests in playing badminton and guitar. Listening to country music is what makes me tick but I am often listening to Radio one in between to balance out my music tastes.
