FREDDIE LEYDEN
DIRECTOR

Freddie cut his teeth directing films about art and artists for the world's leading museums and galleries such as Tate, The Whitechapel Gallery and National Portrait Gallery. From this he has developed his own unique and exciting style of filmmaking steeped in artistic and historical
visual references. 

His unique films, which both reference art and are artworks in themselves, have made him internationally sought after. He has made commercials and short films for the biggest brand names in the art world and beyond. 

His recent film Santo featuring the dancer and choreographer Botis Seva commissioned by Christie's
was awarded
Vimeo Staff Pick Best Branded Film of the Year

and shortlisted for the prestigious Cannes Lions.

Freddie is currently in pre-production for his narrative directorial debut FARMERS!? slated for a 2023 release.
