Hi I’m Ed. Nice to meet you.
I’m a director and creative and have made music videos for the likes of New Hope Club and Ward Thomas. I’ve created commercials for Walkers and WGSN. I’ve also made my own narrative fiction films.
I also work freelance on set in the visual effects department. Most recently I was on Netflix’s THE KITCHEN, Sky’s THE LAZARUS PROJECT S2, Itv’s THE TOWER S3, as well as Apple TV+’s INVASION and LIAISON. I also did both ENOLA HOLMES’ films (Legendary/Netflix), Season 4 of THE CROWN (Left Bank/Netflix), WAR OF THE WORLDS (FX), UNWELCOME (Tempo/Warner Brothers), and THE SERPENT (BBC).
Two years ago I founded recdek.com a platform to discover TV and film perfectly suited your taste, we all waste so much time scrolling streamers, but we all want to know what are friends are loving, so I set about solving the problem. Available in your iOS or Android app store now.
I’ve won some awards for my filmmaking, my coming of age short CONFECTION (Perry Millward, Tony Way, Esther Smith) did 15 festivals and won a couple of awards. PASSENGER (Samuel Edward-Cook) and THE SPLIT (Edward Hogg) also screened at festivals around the world. My recent project YOUR MOVE (Pearl Mackie, Tommy Coombes, Philip Jackson, Edward Hogg) is a proof of concept for my feature script THE CRITICAL HOUR, a new 1960s heist driving crime thriller, created with George Howson. My coming of age comedy, HOW TO BECOME A HERO, is available to read on request – it’s about a kid trying to be hero to win the heart of the love of his life! Similar to CONFECTION, with more wacky-funny-ness.
There are some people to thank, for without them my career would’ve been much trickier indeed: James Davidson, Matt Wicks, Ed Coltman, Antonio Austoni, AJ Leon and Jon Dean. Legends.
My email is ed @ ed rigg . co . uk. I’m on the usuals platforms – INSTAGRAM – and – TWITTER – and – LINKEDIN. For narrative directing work please contact Jonny Jones at United Agents.
I think that’s about it for now. Thanks for reading, keep on keeping on.
