YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
-
work as an in-field presenter, filmmaker and communicator, embedding with organisations to document projects, campaigns or experiences over time.
Rather than one-off content production, I operate as a defined role that combines storytelling, on-camera communication and field production to support fundraising, marketing, education and audience growth. -
I work with:
Charities, NGOs and grassroots initiatives
Wildlife conservation and environmental projects
Adventure and experience companies
Travel, outdoor and sports brands
Tourism and destination organisations
If your work happens in real places, with real people, over time — I’m a good fit.
-
Production companies are project-based. Influencers are audience-first.
My work sits in between.I offer:
Continuity over time rather than single shoots
In-field credibility rather than surface-level coverage
Story-led communication rather than promotional content alone
This creates trust, narrative depth and audience connection that short campaigns often miss.
-
I typically work on a contracted or subcontracted basis through Harrie Kerley Films, acting on behalf of your organisation while integrating with internal teams.
Engagements are flexible and tailored — not traditional full-time roles, and not ad-hoc freelance work. -
Each engagement is structured around:
A defined role and scope
Agreed priorities and outputs
Clear evaluation and review points
I work closely with communications, fundraising or programme teams, with flexibility built in for field realities.
-
Depending on the partnership, this may include:
Episodic documentary films
Long-form YouTube content
Short-form edits for campaigns
Field updates for donors and supporters
Education and outreach media
Archive and legacy documentation
The emphasis is on story continuity, not just deliverables.
-
No. Success is evaluated through a mixed framework, which may include:
Audience engagement and retention
Newsletter and supporter click-throughs
Demographic reach and audience growth
Donor or customer feedback
Internal team feedback
Quality, usability and longevity of the media produced
This avoids over-reliance on platform algorithms.
-
Travel and project-related costs are discussed transparently at the outset.
Because work is embedded and planned, costs are typically more efficient than repeated external shoots, while delivering deeper coverage. -
Yes. Many partnerships are designed to be scalable, focusing on:
Key project phases
Seasonal or campaign-based work
Multi-use content across departments
The goal is impact and longevity, not volume.
