RAWTAPE

From the north of England, Rawtape AKA Rory Wood, cut his teeth documenting counterculture across the UK, balancing a gritty edge with a deep understanding of cinema. As he developed, his work explored the latest disruptive technologies, providing an innovative perspective from which to tell his stories. Since working in the commercial sector Rawtape has honed a strong sense of social realism in his filmmaking whilst mixing in a playful ‘tongue in cheek‘ tone. This has led him to working with some of UK’s biggest talents, such as Stomzy and Kano as well as collaborating with brands including Adidas and Nike. 

Rory was shortlisted for Best Director in Commercials at the Young Director Awards 2025, as well as being named in The Face Magazine’s Class of 2025 and the most recent Dazed 100 which spotlights the best up-and-coming creatives globally.
