ABOUT HUSHPUPPY PRODUCTIONS
Hushpuppy Productions started off in 2017 after a local band wanted to work with us in creating a music video. After that success we decided to put our passion for film making and visual arts under a banner which is Hushpuppy Productions, functioning today purely on those very passions.
We work mainly with local artists specialising in Music Videos and Photography, however we have branched out into various other forms of media from promotional work to short films with our most recent work Gisette going on to win various awards at many festivals across the globe!
As a two man team, We put our strengths to the test doing what we are both best at, whether that be story-boarding visual projects, or creating the makeup that would be shown on screen; or even writing up the very detailed logistical lists that need to be put in place before a shoot has even started! We perform all those duties as professionally as we can, and at times have collaborated with other people with specific strengths to bring projects to life!
Both graduating from Solent with a degree in Film and Television, we are both highly trained and capable personnel that are strongly camera oriented, with experience in a range of formats and styles. No goal is out of reach, and we will always try our hardest to achieve the absolute potential of each production!

OUR WORK
From shooting music videos to photographing product stills for a wardrobe company, we enjoy the versatility of working on all sorts of projects! Based in East Sussex amongst a thriving music scene from Hastings to Brighton, we particularly enjoy working with musicians bringing their music to a visual form; collaborating with them on their ideas or giving our own spin. With a increasingly media-orientated world, its hard to outline exactly the work we do, as it is constantly evolving, and many clients are looking for niche publishing material, below you can see a little more in detail what we get up to!
- High Quality Music Videos
- Promotional Material for Brands, Bands or Businesses
- Documentary work for a broad range of subjects.
- Hi-Res Photography for Print and Social Media use
