Alan Finlay

This has been my job for 25+ years now. Having worked on many hundreds of shoots in around 40 countries, with a huge number of talented people, I always enjoy the fact that every project is a new constellation.  Whether in a warm studio or on a mountain in the arctic circle, each has it’s own set of challenges,

Bringing a production to a timely conclusion, keeping it safe and respectful and on budget, while giving directors the room to achieve their vision, is really satisfying, and is why I love what I do.

I’ve found that speaking other languages is a big help in navigating cultural nuances , melting away barriers, and above all keeping things clear on set. I’ve lived in the UK, Spain, France and am currently in Germany with my partner Anna.

Staying calm under stress is something I do well, and I see my role on set as being the hub that keeps a shoot running smoothly.  I look forward to working with you soon.
