About me

Kai Murphy is a renaissance polymath living and working a varied and vibrant lifestyle in a low impact and freeganistic way.
Educated at Cirencester College, where he was mentored by the internationally revered, dead-pan video artist duo, John Wood and Paul Harrison. After completing college he was briefly featured in a BBC Blast documentary about young people in the arts. He then immediately started work on productions in London gaining sufficient practical experience to attend The Bournemouth Screen Academy where he specialised in traditional film practises directing and cinematography.
His professional background includes directing and producing television adverts for Hewlett Packard. Documentary editing and assistant producing under Universal Music. Photography explorations culminating in a group exhibition with Martin Parr, Emily-Jane Major, Michael Donald, Laura Pannack, Zed Nelson and Brian Griffin. Painting escapades that have been curated by John Penrose at The Dollar Street Gallery in The Cotswolds and Rose Hatcher in Falmouth, Cornwall.
He has been accused of never taking a break but what is generally overlooked is that his work is his life, what he would call the excitement of learning through creative activities, that which he adores is that which provides passage to understanding the world around him. He dreamt of making films from a very young age living on a houseboat on the river thames with his traditional boat builder father and painter mother. He would finish a day at school to come home and design camera rigs to film the local otters or write scripts and act them out with his friends. He has never given up.
Recently returned from a long spell of sailing and writing along the coast of Portugal and Spain Kai is looking for his next opportunity.
