Bert & Bertie

Bert & Bertie are a female directing duo with a penchant for moustaches, Fedora hats and good stories. With combined backgrounds in theatre, film, photography and video games, by the time their stars aligned they already had a BAFTA and a BAFTA nomination between them.

Meeting for the first time on set, they shared a comical idea that later became Phobias - their first award-winning short film. They’ve also worked with well-known names such as Benicio del Toro, PlayStation, the English National Ballet, the BBC and even David Essex. The tenacious two have made a variety of shorts, picked up a bunch more awards, presented work in the Venice Biennale, written film & game screenplays and brought their unique visual style and narrative flair to the world of commercials.

Constantly blurring lines between reality and fantasy, theirs is a world of visual invention, crackling with comedy and peppered with striking performances.
