"It was a pleasure to work with Film Creatives on the Swingle Swingers music video! Nathan, Nick and their whole crew made the shoot, and my job very easy and enjoyable! I'd recommend this great team to produce and direct any shoot"
Wendy Benstead (Costumer and Clothing, Clients include Kimberly Wyatt, Paloma Faith, Louise Redknapp and Natalie Imbruglia)
"I have worked with film creatives on two commissions. A band called In This Moment from the USA that covered Blondie’s song ‘Call Me’. The commission was for a commercially driven teen friendly video, with much attention on front woman Maria Brink. ITM was added to Kerrang TV, Scuzz TV and spot played on Box Tv and had millions of hits on Youtube.
The second was for a dark and sinister video for legendary gothic rockers, Paradise Lost, when the band itself was unavailable to appear in the film. On both occasions Nathan and Nick delivered what was needed. I’ve worked with many video directors and whilst there’s much creativity
And team work, you will get what you commissioned and not an idea already in the director’s head adapted for your band. Additionally, when it comes to getting value for money and bringing in third party designers and specialists on a tight budget, Nathan is first class".

"Nathan Theys is a creative and visionary Director and Nick Kyriakides a highly skilled and artful Editor. Together they make Film Creatives the first place to come for anyone wanting a unique and creative vision for their project".

"The dedication and preparation insisted on by Nathan and his production team creates the ideal foundation for a dynamic but extremely efficient on-set environment.
His open-mindedness and willingness to embrace new ideas ensures that Film Creatives will deliver a product not only tailored to the requests of the client, but also with the creative flair of an entire team of professional creative minds behind it.
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend a working relationship with Film Creatives. You can be assured of an excellent end product with great production values, a fun and relaxed set, and a whole lot of heart and soul behind it".

Film Creatives was employed by the Swingle Singers to put together a music video production of 'Libertango' performed by the Swingle Singers which Film Creatives premiered at the BFI South Bank in Dec 2010.
During this time they led the production from start to finish and it was a joy to see and work with them. The director Nathan Theys was extremely enthusiastic about the project and bursting with ideas as soon as we mentioned a vague concept. From our suggestions, he then expanded on them and wrote the whole script for the video. In this project Nathan was responsible for each department, from set designers, costumes, lighting , choreography and post -production. Film Creatives scouted over 30 theatres before choosing the right one for this production. The project was well planned but there was always space in the moment for change if a better idea occurred. Working with Film Creatives is exciting as they are efficient and focused. They really knows how to use each person's strengths and puts everyone at ease when they are out of their comfort zone.
Film Creatives eye for direction is first rate and so are their skills. They are inspiring and visually extremely original and creative. They're young, they work hard and are very hands on. They're a company who can creatively achieve great results even with a low budget. With their strong communication skills, they organised a crew of 45 individuals to help bring the director and our vision to life.The crew consisted of individuals such as Costume designer Wendy Benstead who worked on Sister Act in the West End,Designer Celina Norris Saatchie and Saatchie studios and Tango specialist Carole Vincent Wright. Working with such a professional crew showed me that Film Creatives is no less than a professional production film company.
We would not hesitate to recommend this young visionary director and very much hope to work with them soon.

"When I met Nick and Nathan we immediately hit it off and started to create the imagery we wanted. It was fantastic to work with such incredibly talented film makers and I know my song was in good hands!
All my music is written about my personal experiences so i'm pretty fussy who I work with. Having now completed the project I can honestly say that I would recommend these guys to anyone. I'm so proud of our finished product and they have managed to bring my song to life. A fun and professional company that know how to listen as well as advise".
