The comments and reviews are mind blowing. The content is amazing, but to then show it with such an amazing film takes it a new level. Honestly thank you and great work! – Craig Dunkerly , Cheif Executive Officer at Twycross Zoo

Your Creative Team

At Here Now Films, we work with a talented roster of directors — each bringing their own style and perspective to the table. But when it comes to our commercial work, most of our campaigns are led by our in-house Creative Director, Ollie Couch.

With a background in both branded storytelling and documentary film, Ollie’s directed everything from national campaigns for household names to punchy startup spots — always with the same attention to story, tone, and visual impact.

Whether you’re coming to us with a clear creative or starting from a blank page, Ollie helps shape ideas into something cinematic, strategic, and made to move.
