Kieran Nicholson
Kieran started out filming a production in South Africa on the culling of elephants, then freelanced in documentary, ran crew and logistics on major sporting events and now co-owns the largest production studio in York. He's been the freelancer looking for work and the producer looking for crew, and Crew&Co is built for both.
He's available for interviews in person, by phone or on video.

From the crew side to founder
