We’re Dave and Sophie, we founded Shoot First Creative to help ambitious businesses connect with new audiences. We make films, videos and content for marketing campaigns.

We work together with businesses who’re ready to grow and freelance with people who’d like to plug in our skills.

Editor and filmmaker Dave has more than 16 years’ professional experience with credits in feature films, short films, TV, music videos, and commercials. Dave is a licensed drone pilot.
​​
Sophie is a writer and content marketer who helps start ups develop their brand and grow their business. A former journalist, educator and digital product development manager, she started working freelance in 2017.
Why Shoot First? Because it all began with shooting film. It’s where Dave started.

“We have used Dave for numerous videos.  Each video has far outreached our expectations and the quality has been excellent. Dave is extremely professional and hardworking. I wouldn’t hesitate to use him again and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough.”
Alex Pallister, Bill Plant Ltd

“Sophie is so easy to work with. She quickly understood my business, what I am offering to customers and the culture and personality I wanted to express. She then helped me to understand my target audience and create content that speaks to them.”
Eleanor Bromley, Eleanor Jane Interiors
