About

Kondor Films is video production and photographic company based in Bristol, set up by myself, Kirsty Wells.

I am a freelance photographer, filmmaker and Assistant Producer for factual and natural history television. I have several years’ experience independently directing, shooting and editing short form content and factual pieces alongside my work on broadcast shows for major channels and streamers including Channel 4, BBC, Discovery+ and Disney+. 

With a background in Zoology I am especially passionate about telling stories of the natural world but I am also deeply fascinated and engaged with human stories and social issues. I believe powerful human characters should be at the heart of any storytelling. I have produced content for international NGOs, charities, small businesses, and artists.

Kondor Films are open to all video and stills projects no matter how big or small. I am passionate about working closely with clients to create the most impactful visual content. We have a range of 4K and HD equipment at our disposal. 

Please don’t hesitate to reach out about any project idea, I would love to hear from you.
