Harvey Kingsley-Elton

Harvey began as a freelance director/cinematographer, producing videos for the Leicester City Council, charities and schools before being hired as the in-house cinematographer at an international, independent production company, Enter Edem. During his time there, he worked in collaboration with many Leicester creatives and charities. As a director, he has won multiple awards in Best Short and Best Director categories. He won first place in a national Parliamentary competition, screening his film in the Houses of Parliament before it was distributed through schools to educate high schools about potential changes in the law. Last year, through his connections to the Leicester arts scene, he was commissioned by the National Health Service of the UK to create 5 music videos to raise awareness for mental health issues as part of a national campaign to promote well-being. These videos were shot all over the United Kingdom, and were made in collaboration with the Rethinkyourmind charity, and various well known musical artists. Harvey has recently graduated with a B.F.A. in Film and Television from New York University.
