Conall O'Brien

Edit Assistant

I am a freelance visual researcher & treatment designer/writer who started in the industry as a creative assistant at Rattling Stick where I assisted the in-house creative team in designing/writing treatments, sourcing reference gifs & images & working closely with the New Business department to design brand materials. I also undertook many creative writing tasks, working with director’s such as Daniel Kleinman, Sara Dunlop & Andy McLeod to finesse copy for treatments & bios.

Since leaving Rattling Stick in 2020 I have gone on to work on commercial pitch decks for production companies such as Nexus Studios, Smuggler, Somesuch & many more. I have also worked across Film & TV on long form documentary & drama materials for clients such as Netflix & BBC.
