About me

Duncan Christie is a London based director working in commercials, music videos and film. Hailing from Brighton, Duncan studied film direction at the Arts Institute of Bournemouth, where his first spec commercial for Dove won 3 Kodak Awards.

Soon after graduating Duncan was nominated for the D&AD next director award for his film "Power of Play" shot for Chevrolet. The film explores the power of football as a tool to challenge the stigma surrounding HIV in Indonesia.

Since then Duncan has worked internationally with major advertising agencies and brands including Hyundai, Time Out, Vodafone, SK-11 and most notable Breast Cancer Now, for which he has won multiple awards. Honest, emotive storytelling, powerful performances and a keen visual eye distinguish his work across a range of genres.

Outside of his commercial work, Duncan's short films have screened at festivals globally. His most recent short "Tom" was funded through Creative England and the BFI's emerging talent fund and stars renowned actors Alistair Petrie and Clair Holman. Duncan is currently in development on his first feature film.
