Noah Read
Creative Director
Writer/Director, Director of Photography, Cinematographer, Video and Photo Editor, Producer
As a Contemporary Media Practice student at the University of Westminster and a multidisciplinary creative based between London and Milton Keynes, my work moves across cinema, immersive installation, photography, graphic design, and sound. Whether building dystopian worlds, writing heightened dialogue, or experimenting with analogue glitch processes, I’m drawn to narrative that feels tactile.
Having worked as Creative Director for Desktop Studios since 2023, as Graphic Designer for Conceptheatre, and Lead Guitarist and Art Director for Majesterium, I continue to freelance across disciplines, from photography, cinematography, and editing, to contemporary installation, social campaigns, and brand concepts.
Puns always intended.

As a filmmaker in my own time, film and media are very important and fascinating to me; a true way of expressing emotion and feeling to a captive audience. The incredible variety and imagination of film production has inspired my own creative potential and skill. As a person who’s constantly analysing and evaluating the media I see, performance on every level, whether that be a TV series or in person performance, has inspired me to create and be critical of my own performances and productions. Creating intriguing and awe-inspiring media has always been a driving force for my own performance and media production.
Peter Miller
Production Manager
Cinematographer, Photographer, Editor, Producer
I’m a multidisciplinary media creative with a BA (Hons) in Contemporary Media Practice from the University of Westminster, working across filmmaking, photography, and digital storytelling. My creative foundation began in game development, where I built skills in coding, 3D software, and game engines, and this continues to shape my approach to storytelling and immersive media. My practice is driven by atmosphere, narrative, and audience perception, with a particular interest in how media influences emotional and psychological responses, especially through Gen Z culture, digital environments, and immersive experiences.
