John Sturt

I’m a second generation film gaffer available for assignment in Scandinavia and worldwide.

My background consists of 15 years working on film and drama productions in England. During this period I worked at all the major film & tv studios and also worked for many of the major production companies in the UK, this includes among others the BBC, Carlton, and Sky.

In 2002 I moved to Stockholm, Sweden and continued my work in film & television working equally on television commercials and feature films. I have worked on most of the largest Swedish film productions of the last decade, including: the Beck series of films, the Arn films which filmed partially in Morocco, and the Swedish version of Steig Larsson’s Millennium trilogy.

With my depth of knowledge and experience I believe I can provide a very satisfactory service, especially for visiting director’s of photography and production companies. I’m always interested in hearing about upcoming productions, even if I’m unable to be involved directly I can always recommend competent crew or services for your important production.
