Pencil & Mortar is a Videography practice operated by me, Sophie May.
I work with businesses, from artists & galleries to farmers & chefs to capture their stories and processes to share with their online audiences.
When looking for a film to capture the essence of your practice it needs to be delicate, considered and carefully taylored around you.
As a filmmaker with a background in painting and illustration I understand the time, thought and skill that goes into cultivating a creative practice. Through film we can empower you by capturing and sharing your work with the wider world.
As well as Film Making I have worked as an Art Director for over 6 years. During this time I've styled commercials, music videos and short films for clients including Bombay Bicycle Club, Deliciously Ella, The All Blacks, Lucky Saint Beer, Buzzfeed and many more. My interest in styling, interior design and architecture has given me a keen eye for aesthetics that shines through in my video work today.
Capturing the space you work in, your skills and the way you create on video can be a great asset to have in these digital days for your website and socials. I would love to hear about your business and how we could work together!

“I reached out to Sophie to make a film which showcased the studio and processes of my made to order clothing brand. She was brilliant to work with, and made me feel so relaxed in front of the camera which is not an easy task!
I absolutely loved the film created, as it playfully captured the ethos of the brand and connected the audience to me as a maker. I would recommend Sophie to any creatives and small businesses looking for promotional content of a brilliant quality.”
