YOU ARE HERE RECRUIT JANE STOCKDALE.
13 October 2021

Director, photographer, and sports lover Jane Stockdale is now on the books at You Are Here.

Known for her perceptive snaps of both elite and grassroots sport, Stockdale's reputation as a TVC director is growing fast. Her 2019 debut—a profile of the Netherlands women's national football team—underlines the importance of trust between a director and their cast.



"We think Jane will very soon be up there with the hottest names in sports filmmaking," You Are Here say. "Through her stills work and into her burgeoning career as a moving image director, she displays an innate talent for intimately documenting people."

The team at 48-49 Princes Place are also proud to help Stockdale change perceptions about the sector: "We all know how difficult it is for female directors to get a foothold in our industry, especially in the typically hyper-masculine world of sport. That makes Jane's reel all the more impressive."



Said reel can be found here on Jane Stockdale's You Are Here page. For more information, email Luca Antoniazzi via luca@youarehereuk.com or call 020 3735 6699.
