Eddie Frost
Eddie studied Human Sciences at University and emerged (via Alaska) with a taste for documentary film making. Many years later, having filmed all over the world, from the Payatas dump site in Manila to the wild forests of Siberia, and all sorts of people, from Paul McCartney to the heroic mothers of the Korogocho slum in Nairobi, Eddie understands how to make a story jump from the screen into your heart.
Simon Richardson
Simon has been Proudfoot's producer since the company was founded in 2004. He has been involved in production for more than 26 years, initially in TV commercials but also in the broadcast and corporate sectors. He has directed films for Proudfoot's clients but is most effective in a supporting role, working closely with clients, agencies and the company's creative team. We all have our weaknesses and Simon's is Portsmouth Football Club.
Rick Horsfall
Rick left the rolling hills of The North to join Proudfoot over 13 years ago and during that time, has become a strong and accomplished filmmaker. Although determined not to forget his Yorkshire roots, Rick has directed all over the world, bringing people's stories and ideas to life and when he gets chance getting his hands on a camera himself. His instinctive eye, attention to detail and compassion towards people have made him a valuable asset.
Gemma Chapman
Gemma spent her first 15 years in the industry producing and directing all over the world. She is now happily production managing and is responsible for the smooth day-to-day running of Proudfoot’s productions.
Daphne Boulicault
Daphne took her Zoology degree from the University of Nottingham out into the field, researching spotted turtles on Nantucket Island and green pit vipers in Thailand (despite being afraid of snakes). Her passion is combining her love of science with her skills in communication and visual media. She has worked on broadcast projects for the BBC and National Geographic.
Latham Wright
Latham grew up in Greece, the United States and the Philippines. He studied film production in London at the University of Westminster, where his final film about a fisherman in Jamaica made him realise his love for documentary filmmaking. He will tell you, in his inconsistent accent that he loves piecing together the many elements of a film to create a story greater than the sum of its parts.
Laura Mahler
Laura was on a postgrad trip researching Native American oral history when she realised the interviews she was collecting could be better used in films than in academic papers. She finished her degree, took an editing course, and fell in love with documentary filmmaking. Many short films and a couple of Netflix credits on, she is directing her creative energy into her work with Proudfoot.
Jack Wood
Jack has studied in Manchester, Vancouver, and London but originally hails from South Yorkshire's steel city. Through his research into online news media and UK clubbing culture, a passion for investigative storytelling was born. After years of pretentiously reciting film theory to anyone who’d listen, he sought to involve himself in the process of filmmaking. This love of deep diving into a story combined with a passion for visual mediums made documentaries a natural fit. Despite finding this calling, his daydreams of becoming a famous DJ continue.
Enrico Hallworth
Enrico discovered a love of film and theatre at the University of Cambridge, and worked on over 50 projects in his time there. He went on to study at the National Film and Television School and has since had films screened in festivals all over the world. His first love was writing and he still scribbles away in his free time. Whether he’s working on a short story or a Proudfoot script, he puts creativity and care into every word.
