about distort films.
who are we?
We are Distort Films, a style-driven film agency specialising in daring and dynamic content. High-octane photography, videography and drone services are at the core of all of our projects.
Founded by Luca Antonio, Distort Films was born to combat the run-of-the-mill content that is churned out on a daily basis with little style or thought. Over the years we have crafted the distinctive DF style that captivates audiences globally, utilising new and old technology to bring a unique feel to our productions.
THE CREW
MEET The team behind the camera…
At the heart of Distort Films is a tight-knit team of creative minds who live and breathe storytelling. We’re not just behind the camera — we’re behind the ideas, the direction, and the craft. With a background that spans in-house marketing, brand campaigns, and hands-on production, we know how to connect creativity with real impact.
Each member of the team brings a unique perspective and artistic edge, but we’re united by one thing: a refusal to create anything dull or forgettable. From concept to final cut, we’re here to craft bold, refined visuals that push your vision further.
LUCA
Founder
Luca is the founder of Distort Films and the driving force behind its bold, style-driven aesthetic. He kicked things off shooting freelance while studying Civil & Structural Engineering at Uni, balancing working with brands like Grenade before launching DF full-time.
Equal parts precision and chaos, he brings sharp storytelling, slick visuals and full-send energy to every shoot.
When he’s not behind the lens, he’s usually out on the mountain bike (with a drone in tow), eating burgers and pizza, or hanging out with a dog — long live his childhood sidekick, Whisky.
DOBBY
PHOTOGRAPHER, VIDEOGRAPHER & EDITOR
Dobby’s a self-taught creative who skipped the uni route and went straight into making things happen. He’s worked with influencers across Europe, filming everything from MSC cruise ships to podcasts and behind-the-scenes at Formula 1.
He’s big on travel, cats (especially his pet cat Button!)and flying FPV drones — his edits are fast, punchy, and instinctively on point. No fuss, no ego, just visuals that hit hard and move fast.
TOM
ASSIStant Photographer, VIDEOGRAPHER & EDITOR
Born and raised in Thailand, Tom's been making things since he could hold a pencil — now it's cameras, code and clean edits.
With a sharp eye for automotive videography and a love for all things tech (he’s the kind of guy who 3D prints his own gear), he brings precision and style to every frame.
Outside the studio, you’ll find him hiking, travelling, or knee-deep in code — but always chasing the next creative build.

We strive to be the film production agency with a difference, delivering exceptional quality, innovation, and unparalleled ‘distort’ artistry in every project we undertake.
