Newcastle-based filmmaker producing documentary and promotional films across the UK.

About Me

I’m Alan Fentiman, a filmmaker, videographer, and editor based in Newcastle upon Tyne. I produce thoughtful, visually engaging films for arts organisations, heritage sites, universities, charities, and creative businesses across the North East and the UK.

With over 20 years of experience in video production, I specialise in telling real stories through film—creating documentaries, artist-led commissions, music videos, academic films, promotional films, and social media videos. I work with clients across the arts, heritage, education, and research sectors to deliver high-quality content that connects with audiences.

Documenting the ideas, practices, and people driving art, heritage, research, and creative change.

My approach is agile and unobtrusive. I collaborate closely with clients to create cinematic, emotionally resonant films that communicate ideas clearly—whether they’re shown on screen, online, or in gallery and exhibition spaces.
