Experience Overview:

Edinburgh: Short Film Documentation Experience

This isn’t a walking tour—it’s your trip turned into a short film in one of the most mysterious cities in the world. This is a cinematic journey, guided by a local filmmaker and photographer (that’s me!). We’ll wander through Old Town or go off the beaten path to Leith Walk, visit landmarks and hidden gems, and even check out local maker markets if that’s your vibe. I’ll capture natural, candid moments while sharing dark medieval tales and helping you feel totally at ease. We’ll start with a drink (tea or something stronger!) to warm up, then flow through the city together—no pressure to pose, just be yourself. It’s your story, your experience that will not repeat—filmed with care.
Ideal for:
• Solo travellers who want to feel connected, seen, and remembered.
• Couples looking for a romantic, meaningful keepsake of their time here.
• Content creators, artists, or dreamers who love storytelling through images.
• Anyone who prefers an intimate experience over crowded tours.

What to expect:

23 Cockburn St

I’m a local filmmaker and photographer, and I’ll turn your visit into a mini movie. Think of it as a relaxed walk through one of the most beautiful and mysterious cities in the world while I capture little moments of your trip on film. You’ll feel seen, safe, and inspired like the city itself is a movie set and you are the main character. I speak English and Spanish, and it’ll feel more like hanging out with a friend than a formal shoot.
What you’ll get:

• It's all about you-Into art? History? A bit of mystery? I’ll design an itinerary that matches your vibe.
• A warm, relaxed walk-through hidden corners of the Old Town, where tourists rarely go.
• These moments won’t repeat. I want to help you remember them with a beautiful, 1.5- to 5-minute short film, edited and delivered within 5–10 days, that you’ll want to watch again (and share).
• Bonus portraits – 10 to 20 street portraits-professionally edited alongside your film—spontaneous, cool, and totally you.
• Short stories of dark medieval Edinburgh that bring the city to life.
• A connection – for those moments when travelling alone can feel a little too quiet.
