Anatole is a London-based director specialising in documentaries and branded content.

Having started his career as a documentary photographer, Anatole’s work particularly focuses on the interplay between documentary naturalism and a more intentional approach to cinematography. His branded work aims to bring authenticity to a brand’s narrative, by exploring genuine human stories through the lens of the brand.

Whilst first and foremost a director, Anatole has worked variously as a producer, editor, and cinematographer. As a result, he approaches a project according to its needs, sometimes shooting solo and at other times working with a crew.

He is particularly interested in exploring themes relating to the climate crisis. As Creative Director, he was on the founding team of RE:TV, a sustainability channel established by HM The King in 2020 (Amazon Prime link).

Anatole is mixed British Chinese, and grew up between the UK, Hong Kong, and Japan. He is BAFTA Connect member.
