Jake Barret is a videographer, director, producer, and owner of the production company Jake Barret Films. He learnt how to use a camera as a young photographer when he was in school. As a keen horse rider his first photos were mainly of horses and old buildings. Once he’d developed his skills, he started his own photography company at the age of 16. This was supported by his mother as his assistant and means of travel.

Once Jake had left school, he decided to spend more time on his business and developing his skills as a photographer selling the print ups of photos he had taken. He then attended BWA Stage and Screen Academy which, is where he developed his skills as a videographer, knowledge of film and begin to take film more serious as a career pathway. Learning from his peers and developing his network in the industry was what really gave him the opportunity to go on to become a professional film maker.

He now runs his own film production company called Barret Films with a team of 5 skilled film makers. Together they develop social media films, documentaries, TV commercials, and video content for corporate companies.
