Elastic Pie | Independent Film Directing Duo

Elastic Pie is an independent film and design studio founded by filmmakers Lucy Steel and Cameron Doig. Operating from bases in Bristol and York, the duo fuses their extensive experience from broadcast documentaries and feature films with modern creative marketing strategies. Since its formation in 2020, Elastic Pie has established a distinct reputation for storytelling that embraces the "authentic, analogue, and imperfect." The studio works across a diverse array of formats, including short films, documentaries, campaigns, commercials, and film titles. Their collaborative approach allows them to manage projects from initial conception through to final delivery, providing services in filming, editing, and animation. Unique to their process, Lucy and Cameron often integrate traditional artistic techniques such as drawing and painting into their cinematic works, complementing their technical proficiency with both high-end digital equipment and vintage film cameras. Elastic Pie has successfully delivered projects for a wide range of clients, including the NHS, British Ceramics Biennial, FitXR, and Taxi Studio. Notable works such as "Back to the Forest" for the 4814 Trust highlight their commitment to narrative-driven visual media that aims to inspire change. Whether functioning as a full-service production house or as directors within a larger agency framework, Elastic Pie remains focused on human-centric stories and compelling visual identities.
