About

Rory Easton is a filmmaker, writer, and creative director working across Edinburgh and Glasgow drawn to create people first, powerful stories.

 

Working freelance, he partners with people and organisations who care about impact, not just output. From grassroots charities to national brands, his past collaborators include and the Edinburgh International Book Festival, The Children and Young People's Commissioner Scotland, Down's Syndrome Scotland, Young Enterprise UK, Big Hearts and Spartans Community Foundation. Every project has shaped his lens, not just technically, but personally and professionally as he is always wanting to learn.

 

Rory’s path into film began early. What started with LEGO stop-motion videos and realism art has grown into a full-time creative practice. He works independently, driven by authorship and trust, and by a belief that building connections with people always comes first. He specialises in working with a variety of vulnerable groups including a lot of work with Young People as well as those who are neurodivergent or have ASN needs.

 

Right now, he’s in production directing of a series of creative documentaries for Film/TV, exploring the lives of Scottish artists and storytellers who have taken a leap from another profession, told through his own unique perspective jumping from the safety of corporate marketing to freelance filmmaking. 

 

Whether he’s directing, editing, or behind the camera, Rory brings care and clarity to every frame. He listens first and builds strong trust as he works to create visuals that don’t just look good but show impact!
