The Art of Design for Film

Sam has been navigating the dynamic landscape of visual storytelling and design since starting out at Territory Studio over a decade ago. There he has worked his way upwards to the position of Creative Director he leads today.

During his career he’s been deeply involved in design for film with a specialism in UI design and narrative support for productions including Dune: Part 2, The Batman, Blade Runner 2049 and Ready Player One. In doing so, Sam’s proud to have worked in-person with some of the world’s most acclaimed directors and been intrinsically involved in realising and expanding their creative visions.

Formed from hands-on experience as an independent photographer and director, Ashton’s empathetic understanding of the creative process has helped forge her success as an Executive Producer. Formally with EG+, Method Studios, MPC, and Realise Studio, in her time with Territory Studio she has co-ordinated and lead visual effects production on a number of award-winning shows and feature films finding a specialism in graphic design for film environments. Recent credits include Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, Dune: Part 2, The Batman, and Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One.
