For every commissioner wanted to expand the directors and photographers they use, creative production collective, 13CO, has launched FR13NDS, an offering of freelance commercial directors and photographers.

FR13NDS’ local, and soon to be international, curated collection offreelance directors and photographers represent diverse backgrounds and specialties, come with the production experience of award winning 13CO, run by executive producers, Charity Downing and Roy De Giorgio.

“We listened to both agencies and directors alike, who were looking for a professional and trusted solution in the freelance space. We’ve been working with more freelancers over the years, so the time feels right to formalise this into the new FR13NDS brand, De Giorgio stated.

Some of the directors featured include Tim Green, JH Walker,  Lincoln Caplice, Lachy French, Hamish MacGregor, Giovanni Pacielo, Jesse James McElroy, Ant McPhail and Alex Feggans. Current photographers include Larnce Gold, Myles Pritchard, Jonathan Cami & Andrew Buckley.

More collaborators are featured on the website and even more are available behind the scenes.

“Our offering is very broad. Regardless of what anyone promises, it always comes down to pairing the right creative on every project. Our list is always fluid as different collaborators become available depending on the creative, schedule and dynamics of any project. We have many more collaborators who are keen to work with FR13NDS so we’ll be adding more filmmakers and photographers as needed,” De Giorgio adde

“Over the years, we have often been approached for photography to complement motion or as a stand-alone so we’ve always had a listed of trusted photographers that we work with. It’s great that they now have a home with FR13NDS. We’re always trying to come up with interesting models to combine skillsets on jobs to provide clients a more cohesive experience and consistency of creative,” added Downing.

The director genres cover comedy, visual narrative, post + VFX, automotive, real people, visuals/beauty and tabletop.
