Meet the Founder

I graduated from the University of the West of England in Bristol with a BA degree in Filmmaking in 2025; wanting to pursue my passion for every element of the creative process within filmmaking, videography, and photography, I founded Kantion Media to continue doing what I loved under the environmentally & socially friendly principles that are so important to me.

Also, if you were wondering- the name ‘Kantion’ is an homage to my upbringing in Kent, coming from the ancient name first recorded in a periplus in ancient Greek of the c. 320s B.C. by Pytheas.
