‘ As a highly skilled professional with great people skills, I would have no hesitation in recommending Jonathan for future work’

Emma Jones, Senior Producer BBC Studios

‘Jonathan has shown excellent directing and shooting skills and a thorough grasp of production. He has also demonstrated the ability to work to tight deadlines and get thebest out of the people he works with in a caring and sensitive manner. ‘

Emma Scott, Line Producer, Zinc Media

‘Jonathan recently took a very last minute brief from us to deliver brand films for our new Samsung mobile product launch event in London, Pottersfield.

He was a breath of fresh air, given we had very little pre-production time to plan our shootdays. He really came in and from day one hit the ground running, working tirelessly with ourteams to make sure that we delivered two great films, consistently going over and above tomake this happen.

Having his own kit and not needing to hire it in was a huge help and wereally appreciated the deal he cut us, as we couldn't have delivered the level of film without his help.’

Sarah Goodchild, AMV BBDO, Director and Founder of AMV Live

‘Jonathan has worked freelance with Rock Hound /Smoke and Mirrors over the past five years in the capacity of Director, Shooting PD and Editor; working on several campaign and content films for clients such as HTC, L’Oreal, UKTI, Samsung and Dorchester Collection. Jonathan is an extremely capable and experienced filmmaker with an energetic and creative approach.

A dedicated professional with a great range of skills, he isa real self-starter. I would happily recommend Jonathan on this basis. ‘

Lou Hardy, Producer, Rockhound

‘Jonathan Beamish worked with us on our 60 minute documentary special on the MOBO's for ITV. In just six weeks,with a very tight team and fast turnaround we achieved a glossy, credible and entertaining product. Jonathan was integral to the feel and look using his creative eye and solid technical knowledge, thiscreated an on screen feel that elevated the programme. He filmed 19 musicians and international artistsunder extreme pressure but at no time did his attention to detail slip, his wide technical knowledge baseand skill set was used to the full to deliver a beautiful set up on each occasion.

His passion and enthusiasm for the project and to make it the best film it could be was apparent and verymuch respected. The edit required a full daily deadline and managerial approach while Jonathan was oftenstill out filming and tougher with the small team in place, it was a miracle that ITV had a broadcast able documentary that tx'd just before the LIVE MOBO AWARDS show and was a ratings hit achieving over half of the viewers of the LIVE show, on a fraction of the timeline and budget.

I would recommend Jonathan again without any hesitation on this basis. ‘
