Flix Team
Bio
Leon founded Flix Films in 2009, building on his experience in creative media freelancing as a cinematographer and director on numerous projects.
His aim was to create a production company that reflected his high ethical standards and desire to influence positive change, benefiting people across the UK and beyond. His passion for people and original creativity underpin every project, including new ventures into virtual reality technology.
In his spare time, when he’s allowed some, he picks up his trusty GoPro and backpack and explores the world, bringing back new ideas and energy (and often an unruly beard).

Claire has been a freelance Development Producer and Editor for Flix since 2011, bringing to her projects a wealth of creative experience and a level of insight and sensitivity that perfectly fits with Flix’s mission.
She has produced independent documentaries on topics ranging from refugees to ‘terrorist’ peace campaigners and beyond, and travelled to Uganda to produce a series of short films for a baby rescue center, working with former child soldiers to tell their stories and working to promote the charity that assists them.
Her hands-on approach carries right through from development to the editing process (which she loves as late night edits often require late night chocolate).

In 2011 Luke started work within the sound department of the BBC’s flagship show, EastEnders, and has since gone on to work on further productions with the BBC, Sky and Avalon. He has composed music, and recorded, designed, edited and mixed sound for a range of corporate shoots, short and feature films.

It was Ivan’s fantastic use of light and original camera work that first caught our attention, and he brings those skills to all the work he does for Flix. He’s also amazingly calm and happy on set or location, which makes him a real asset to the Flix team and one of our favourite people.
Ivan has been working as a director of photography for over 10 years, having studied at both Brighton Film School and Kingston University. He has worked for the BBC, ITV, and The History Channel, and has had a documentary he worked on played on HBO worldwide.
He has worked with Keanu Reeves and Danny Boyle on the documentary ‘Side by Side’, and spent over a year working for the United Nations, during which time he filmed both Ban-Ki Moon and Kofi Annan. Ivan speaks fluent French and loves to travel, having filmed in other 20 countries, but we like to keep him busy here in the UK when we can.
