Who Is WJ?
No, "Whitcombe James" isn't a mythical person — despite what our clients' marketing departments may think…
We're two filmmakers from London — Alex Whitcombe and Fraser James — who teamed up to build one of the most agile creative production companies in the world. We crossed paths almost a decade ago in a warehouse editing room in Shoreditch, and immediately clicked over a shared passion for capturing our travels with nothing but the equipment we could carry in our backpacks.
While we've grown well beyond backpack filmmaking, we still carry that same philosophy into every project. Our company is founded on a simple, unshakeable principle: small, talented teams make better creative work than large, bloated ones — and they make budgets go further too.
Small teams. Bigger ideas. Better work.
And clients agree. From billion-dollar brands to innovative start-ups, this elegant philosophy has taken us all over the world — always with a camera in hand — making engaging creative content for some of the most exciting brands on the planet.
