Film Direction · Creative Direction

Films built from a point of view.

MJ Perkins directs campaign films, fashion films, branded stories and visual narratives that connect concept, performance, image and production. Based in Los Angeles, working in New York and internationally.

Approach

Direction that begins before the camera rolls.

Strong film direction starts with a clear idea. I develop the visual logic, tone, performance language, framing and pacing before production so every department is building toward the same emotional result.

My approach connects creative direction and film direction rather than treating them as separate stages. That allows the finished film to stay faithful to the original concept while still responding to what happens on set.
