    About

    Blake Claridge Logo

    Hi, I’m Blake. I’m a Director and Creative based in the sunny south of England.

    I love telling human stories. Finding the little moments, the unexpected emotions and the things that connect us. I enjoy working with real people, bringing honesty, empathy and a bit of humanity to the work I make.

    Having kids of my own has given me a whole new perspective on storytelling, especially for younger audiences. It’s made me more curious about how children see the world and what it takes to make stories that genuinely connect with them.

    I’ve been lucky enough to win a few awards along the way, from Lions to MTV awards, but for me, it’s always about the people I work with and making something I’m proud of.

    Most of the work on my site is my directing work. Click on CREATIVE to find projects I’ve worked on creatively, some of which I’ve directed too.

    Contact

    Feel free to drop me a line to discuss a project.
