Feel Films has kick started the year by welcoming established fashion-beauty director BEVERLEY FORTNUM to our commercials roster and introducing newcomers NICK MURPHY and STUART BATEUP.

FORTNUM made her name in advertising as an award-winning female creative director working on some big name brands. As a director she went on to do spots for brands including Lynx, Max Factor, Clairol, Debenhams and most recently conceived a hugely successful campaign for retailer Next.

MURPHY comes out of TV Drama fresh from his massive success with the critically acclaimed BBC 3-parter Occupation. The series was nominated for both RTS and Broadcast Awards and declared the Guardian’s Best Drama of the Year. His other TV work includes one hour drama Napoleon starring Tom Burke and Rob Brydon, and Chernobyl starring Adrian Edmondson, both for the BBC.

BATEUP has had a long and successful career directing food shows for celebrity chefs including Two Fat Ladies, The Hairy Bikers, Ainsley Harriot, Anthony Worral Thompson and Nigel Slater. His latest show His Kitchen Secrets staring Michelin starred chef Raymond Blanc is due on the BBC in February. Bateup looks forward to bringing his combined talents of food beauty and performance into the shortform arena.
