Meet the team.
Shoot the Company was established in 2006 by Tom Hillier and Henry Wilks. We have enormous experience producing and directing a wide variety of corporate films and have enjoyed shooting CEO’s and Prime Ministers, brewers, children, bankers, chemists, judges, entrepreneurs, teachers, super-models and potatoes.
Tom Hillier
Founder
Tom spent his television career being shouted at by football managers. After two years at Talkback he moved to IMG/TWI in 1999 to produce and direct the worldwide Premier League magazine show and sports documentaries. His credits include, They Think It’s All Over, FAPL Preview Show, FIFA World Cup, Being Jose Mourinho. Tom has never been shouted at whilst filming for Shoot the Company, although he thought he might get into trouble when he put a mug of tea on a mantelpiece at No10.
Henry Wilks
Founder
Henry is an expert in filming pigs having spent three years on Jimmy’s Farm, producing the series for the BBC.
He has produced and directed across the BBC and Channel 4, where he ended up filming lambs in Gordon Ramsay’s garden for the F Word.
He can also film humans.
Sara Butler
Head of Production
Sara’s childhood ambition was to become an actress. Luckily it turned out her true skills lay in the rather more exciting and dynamic department of TV Production. She started her career working for the BBC One promotions team, then moved into drama setting up shoots all over the world. She worked on programmes such as Silent Witness, Minder, The Bill, Footballers’ Wives, Casualty and EastEnders where the actors were jealous of her dazzling array of production skills.
Adrian Griffiths
Head of Post Production
Adrian was drawn to editing by a love of story-telling and an eye for visuals. His background includes running a busy Machine Room and editing a variety of genres such as entertainment (F Word, ITV at the Movies, The Album Chart Show), promos (for Nickelodeon, Eurosport and Disney) and corporate (Coca Cola, Formula One Management and Olympic Delivery Authority). Adrian has a degree in zoology and hopes one day to work for a client who will benefit from his extensive knowledge of the animal kingdom.
