Hello, I’m Elena Bazu.
I make short documentary-style films about artists, local businesses and period homes, in London and around the UK.
I prefer to work on commission basis, so I can direct, film and edit my vision of the story, combining digital and Kodak film.
My gorgeous clients:
— House&Garden (Condé Nast)
— Edward Bulmer
— Jamb
— Martin Brudnizki
— Royal College of Art
— Ffern
— Christopher Farr Cloth
— Partnership Editions
— Anglepoise
— The Out (Jaguar Land Rover)
— Studio Peake
— Petersham Nurseries
— Irby & Rubinstein (LIPR)
