Louis Harrild – Filmmaker & Creative Content Producer

​

I'm Louis Harrild, a filmmaker from Portsmouth, England, driven by a lifelong passion for storytelling through multi-media content creation.

​

My journey into content creation began in my final year of college, where I led a youth programming group at the Depot Cinema in Lewes. This initiative, supported by the Independent Cinema Office and the British Film Institute, aimed to re-engage 16–25-year-olds with cinema and inspired similar projects across the UK.

​

Eager to transition from film exhibition to creation, I studied Film Production and Screenwriting at the University of Chichester. There, I developed technical expertise with industry-standard equipment like the Sony FS7, Arri Alexa Classic, and Blackmagic Cinema Cameras, while also mastering editing and post-production tools such as DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, and After Effects. Over time, my creative focus narrowed to directing and screenwriting, leading me to take the helm on multiple university projects.

​

Outside of academia, I co-founded 9 Minds Production, a collective dedicated to developing passion-driven films. Over the past three years, we've produced a range of content including short films, music videos, and documentaries. We operate collaboratively, constantly challenging ourselves to refine our storytelling and production quality with every project.

​

Alongside my film work, I now work full-time at PureTech, where I initially joined as a videographer. My broader skill set was quickly recognised, and I was promoted to Marketing Team Lead, a role that has expanded my experience across a wide range of marketing functions. I’ve taken the lead on SEO and paid social campaigns, working in collaboration with brands such as Toshiba, Seagate, and Dahua. I’ve also managed event logistics for large-scale exhibitions at venues like ExCeL London and NEC Birmingham, overseeing everything from stand design and merchandise to on-site coordination. In addition, I’m responsible for team management, B2B communications, content creation, and social media strategy, ensuring all marketing initiatives are cohesive, targeted, and delivered on time and within budget.

​

One of my most successful personal ventures is Southdown Sessions, a music-focused video series that has garnered over 120,000 views on Instagram in under a year—highlighting both my production skill and ability to engage audiences online.

​

Now in my mid 20s, I bring a blend of creative vision, technical know-how, and commercial experience. I'm actively seeking new challenges and opportunities to grow as a multi-media creative, with an open mind and a relentless drive to tell impactful stories.
