I’m Tom Power, a BAFTA nominated Director based in the West Midlands. I've spent years filming people in extraordinary and often deeply personal circumstances, earning access to sensitive stories where authenticity matters most. My approach is observational, and instinctive. I find beauty in the unscripted and emotion in the everyday. Working predominantly with prime lenses, I strive to create films that feel immersive, intimate, and timeless.
Whether it's an intimate documentary, a commercial, or a branded film, my background in television shapes the way I work. Beautiful visuals will always draw people in. Honest storytelling is what makes them stay.
My work has been broadcast for primetime on Channel 4, ITV, BBC, and Netflix, but what continues to inspire me isn't the platforms, it's the people.
