Calum Menzies

Producer - D.O.P - Editor

Black Thistle Media

Born in the Highlands of Scotland, as a youngster Calum began making videos as a hobby.  His love of television and films made him study a HND course, Creative Industries: TV at North East Scotland College in Aberdeen.

This gave him access to learn and refine many skills which has allowed him to specialise in Camera and Editing work on various different projects.  He has just graduated from the Television course at Edinburgh Napier University in order to continue to degree level. He often works with others on Short Films, Music Videos, Documentary and many more.
​ 

In 2016 he was D.O.P in producing an award-winning short film called "Sam" through working on the BFI Film Academy in Aberdeen.
​
For his final project at University he decided to make a Documentary about a woman from the Isle of Lewis with Multiple Sclerosis who fundraised to get Stem Cell Treatment in Mexico. As part of this he went to Mexico in February 2018 to capture a part of the Documentary over there.
