Ruari Barratt

DIRECTOR . EDITOR . DRONE + CAMERA OPERATOR

With a background spanning branded content, documentary, social, internal comms, and corporate video, I bring versatility to every project. I’m equally at home directing, working as a self-shooting PD, or operating as a camera op. As the proud owner-operator of a RED V-Raptor X, I combine creativity with high-end technical delivery.

What drives me is storytelling: crafting edits that are sharp, engaging, and alive with great sound and music.

I’d love to show you what I can do, let’s make something exceptional together!
