Straight after college I joined Simply Social/Studios as a production assistant where I have now worked my way up to a film director and editor. I have since been on hundreds of shoots ranging from all scales, and since we are a small team I gained experience of almost every role on a set.

ABOUT ME

Hi I’m Craig McShane a 23 year old, a wanna be film director and producer, currently working as a production Assistant at Simply Studios. I call myself a creative storyteller as my passion lies with being able to tell peoples stories through creative work.

Having graduated with a First Class Honours in Creative Digital Media, creating an award winning documentary for my dissertation project. I joined Simply Social where I have gained professional agency skills, from editing to directing, to dealing with clients, Ive got to have a go at it all. My love for documentary work has led me to begin a Level 9 Production Management Course at IADT.

2026 is a year for passion projects for me while i build my portfolio and skillset, so hopefully you see more of my work this year…
