I’m George Bushaway, an award-winning film director and creative producer with over a decade of experience crafting documentary, short-form commercial, and online content with a strong arts, cultural, and educational focus. As founder of Ligatura Films, I’ve led high-impact campaigns for Amazon, eBay, and the National Youth Theatre—delivering everything from luxury lifestyle shoots and red carpet premieres to behind-the-scenes content that drove a 15% boost in festival attendance. My approach is hands-on and collaborative, always focused on strong brand identity and engaging, story-led visuals that cut through on digital platforms.

I thrive on working with talent—directing models, actors, and high-profile guests to create authentic, memorable moments. My background in broadcast and post-production means I’m equally at home leading teams, devising content strategy, and managing projects from concept to completion. I believe that when we keep our creative process open and flexible, we unlock the freedom to respond in ways that deliver truly standout work.
