Harrison Thane is an award winning Cinematographer & Director, for the last 15 years he has worked across Africa, The Middle East, Asia and South America providing social communications, short films and brand campaigns for clients in the third and private sectors.
I’m currently available for consulting engagements.
Following his consistent work on global social issues, Harrison's films were officially selected for two consecutive COP conferences, with 'Echoes of Tomorrow' notably opening the COP 28 event in 2023.
Harrison has an impeccable eye and he takes his visual storytelling to the next level, chasing light and framing for each of his interviews and scenes. He worked long hours to gather the best footage and content for this complex story, constantly adapting to the changing situation on the ground. He is easy to communicate with, provided detailed day-to-day summaries of his work, and cares about the stories he tells deeply. Would definitely work with him again.

Harrison is a true professional and I cannot recommend him enough! Few people can tackle an assignment independently the way he did with our partners WCS: Getting beautiful shots, conducting interviews and working among other media teams with diplomacy and under less than ideal conditions. Thank you Harrison for being wonderful to work with and delivering the goods.

Harrison and his local production team were fantastic to work with. This video shoot took place on very remote islands in Indonesia and his team planned every single detail perfectly, including arranging their accommodations to stay with the village chief and ensuring they had life vests on the traditional boats. Our team was incredibly impressed by the imagery and story they captured about immunizatoin while on the island, both through videography and photography. Additionally, they were very professional and respectful of the local culture. We would certainly hire his team again for a similar project
