Who We Are Kestrel Film Works is a Sheffield and London based moving and still image production company. Founded by Hesky Tucker and David House in 2009 Kestrel has quickly moved up the ranks in the moving image industry, working for the likes of Boxfresh, Wall of Sound & Red Bull, Kestrel has a strong ethos of consistently producing original and innovative image for its clients.
What We Do Creating Moving Image has been a part of Hesky’s life since a teenager, when he was at college he won the young filmmakers award in Sheffield for two consecutive years in the field of both film and animation and went on to study some film degree at university. Hesky and David are childhood friends who have shared a passion of film for many years (they had a bit of a Stand By Me upbringing). David comes from an unlikely construction background and with it brings knowledge in both business finance and set construction. At the beginning Kestrel started out soley as a film production company, but since the arrival of photographer James Pollak, Kestrel has gone on to produce still imagery for make up artist such as AC RIno and musical artist such as The Loops Of Fury and J.Kas. We pride ourselves in creating innovative cinematic image for out clients in both short and long form outputs.

This is an example of a short form viral we did for musical act Bubbz & The Black Notez. The brief was to show the fans an insight into the bands personalities whilst exploring a typical gig day an how the band prepares for such an event.
The first project for James Pollak was to shoot model Karina Østerberg for AC Rino. James described the project as: A cold, metallic pallet that then evolves through inspiration from AW11′s vibrant colours, drawing influences from traditional African headpieces to complete the contrast. Brought to life on a beautiful Scandinavian canvas, Karina Østerberg.
