About

Landon Maxwell

Visual Enthusiast

If you're thinking:

“What does visual enthusiast even mean...
did you make that up?”

Then let me tell you something:

Yes.

When I tried to describe my creative approach, I realised I couldn't reduce it to a single role.

I'm a Director, Editor, Cinematographer & Photographer, but those are all just part of the process.

What I really do is get enthusiastic about things, then find a way to share that with the world.

I find the world we live in fascinating, and that curiosity has always been my greatest strength as a creative.

From idea to delivery

Pre-production

Creative development, research, treatments, scripting, storyboarding, casting, location scouting and production planning.

Production

Directing, cinematography, photography, lighting, camera operation, sound and collaboration with cast, crew and clients.

Post-production

Editing, colour grading, sound design, motion graphics, VFX and shaping the final delivery for different platforms.

Let's create something.

Whether you're launching a brand, telling a story, or just making something exciting, I'd love to hear about it.
