"I was in urgent need of a showreel and Ricky saved my bacon. It was exactly what I needed first time around and I'll be begging his services again at some point in the future. Many thanks."

- Laura Evelyn | Actor

I am so grateful to Ricky (Invisible Darkness) for the magic he worked on my showreel. I am very confident and proud showing it to casting directors and other industry professionals. Ricky carefully selected the scenes that represent me and my talent best- he really knows what works and what is needed for a good showreel. He listened and truly understood what I am looking for, advised and shared his knowledge of showreels and the industry to make sure we get the best result. Thank you for ''a step up'' in my career.

- Kristina Buikaite | Actor

I can't wait to work with Ricky (Invisible Darkness) again. He is such a talented, creative and kind director- real professional. Ricky works fast, always knows what he wants and how to achieve it. He very naturally finds the way to connect with actors, makes sure they are comfortable so they can deliver their best performance. He listens to everyone in the team carefully, his notes are always spot on and he is very attentive to details. One of my best experiences on set!

- Kristina Buikaite | Rightswipe

IVD are amazing! Without their expertise and talent are projects wouldn't be possible. In a world where indie film making requires you have the cleverest people working as efficiently as possible; as a DOP, as an editor, as a VFX supervisor, Ricky is indispensable

- Christopher Hughes

"Right from the first meeting we knew our marketing campaign was in extremely good hands. Ricky was creative, innovative and great to work with from the first spark of an idea right up to the beautifully finished product. His meticulous and artistic eye is second to none. We couldn't recommend him more!'"

- Lilly Streames

"Ricky at Invisible Darkness was absolutely brilliant. He managed to pull all the great moments from my material, however small, and weave them together seamlessly into a great reel. Very skilled editor and great personal service. He really listened to what I wanted and delivered a final product that exceeded my expectations!"

- Max Warrick

"Ricky has a distinct understanding of actors and of what a showreel needs to contain to best showcase your range and body of work. He is an invaluable asset in helping collate your best material to really get the most out of a few succinct minutes of footage. He is a fantastic editor and I couldn't be happier with the end result of my showreel he structured, cut and polished. I loved working with Ricky as he listens and takes on board any thoughts and ideas I had whilst also bringing his skills as a director and editor into the process from the start and guiding me as to what works best and how to achieve a brilliant end result."
