MEET THE TEAM

LEORA BERMEISTER

Co-Founder | Director of Photography & Filmmaker

Leora Bermeister has spent over half her life behind the camera. Studying Media Production at university, she built a career as a filmmaker, photographer, and visual storyteller. As co-founder of Farelight Productions, she has spent over a decade crafting documentaries, branded content, and event coverage.

 

She has directed documentaries for BBC iPlayer, created content for BMW, and filmed global stories for the Marine Stewardship Council. Her photography has been featured by Shakespeare’s Globe, and she has worked with The Wall Street Journal as a freelance camera operator. In 2024, her work was nominated for a Smiley Charity Film Award.

 

Leora’s approach is meticulous yet approachable, balancing precision with creativity. Passionate about environmental storytelling and advocating for equality in the media industry, she cares deeply about the impact of her work.

 

She is also an experienced live music and festival photographer, capturing the energy of performances worldwide. Outside of work, she enjoys cooking, hosting events for friends, and embracing the water, from icy swims to peaceful free dives.

LUCAS SINCLAIR

Co-Founder | Producer & Editor

As a producer and editor, Lucas oversees production logistics, finances, and creative direction. On set, he plays a key role in directing, managing equipment, and setting up shots to ensure a seamless production. He thrives on shaping raw footage into compelling narratives that engage and connect with audiences. He is also a talented camera operator and photographer.

Lucas has produced and edited projects for BBC Introducing, BMW, and the Marine Stewardship Council. He is especially proud of his COP26 climate change film, which highlighted the impact of global warming on the fishing industry, and his decade-long involvement in creative projects at Glastonbury Festival.

A meticulous planner and collaborative storyteller, Lucas is committed to making meaningful content. He prioritizes working with ethical companies that value sustainability and inclusivity. Beyond filmmaking, he is a former award-winning mixologist, has a passion for interior design and DIY, enjoys travel photography, and loves spending time with his dog, Salma.

Leora Bermeister

Leora Bermeister

Co-founder, Badass Boss Lady

 

In a former life, Leora earned a degree with honours in Media Production and worked in London for a number of award winning production companies such as Breakthru Films.

Leora is a multi-skilled perfectionist, overseeing all our projects with a keen eye for detail. This, and her big personality, has led to some of Farelight’s best working relationships, such as the band Slamboree, touring with them for 7 years and culminating in the release of a documentary on BBC iPlayer.

Her passion for photography has taken her around the world but when she’s not running around with a camera in hand, she can be found hanging out of an Aerial hoop, playing with fire, smashing the patriarchy, cooking elaborate dishes or presenting her own show on Youtube.

Lucas Sinclair

Lucas Sinclair

Co-founder, El Jefe

After a successful career in cocktails, hospitality and event management, Lucas shook (not stirred) things up with a change of direction, turning to photography and filmmaking. This allowed his creativity as well as his management and organisational skills to flourish.

He is a self-taught multi-skilled creative who has spent the last 8 years learning everything from photography to video editing. His thirst for knowledge and growth has led us to some of our biggest projects and most ambitious concepts.

Lucas’s is often seen with a trusty sidekick, his dog Salma; defender of Farelight HQ, snack stealer, and occasional model.

I have had the pleasure of working with the Farelight team on a huge range of projects at BMW UK; from Glastonbury Festival and Brighton Pride to an Electric Vehicle Rally with our Retailers. They have a knack for understanding a brief, always bring innovative ideas to the table and are equally good at capturing products and people which is a rare skill. They always go over and above to get ‘the shot’ and, as an added bonus, are a total blast to work with!

Charlotte Dalglish

Partnerships Marketing Manager, BMW UK

We worked with Farelight Productions to capture some new photography and digital content showcasing the magic of the Globe Theatre and the unique audience experience in that space. Lucas and Leora have been wonderful to work with, going over and above to achieve what was needed. Farelight have helped us to breathe new life and energy into our marketing assets and communicate a unique and transformative experience to our audiences.

Nicki Marsh

Head of Marketing, Shakespeare's Globe

FareLight are the go-to company for documentation of a large event and Shangri-La are delighted with everything they have produced for us over the years. Their dedication and delivery in the face of adversity (mostly mud!) is highly commendable and their attention to detail and passion for their craft is what makes them really stand out.

Creative Director, Shangri-La, Glastonbury Festival
