Chantelle Kayll


Director

Chantelle’s route to director’s chair came through the AD department, as a Third, Second and then First AD, working on all manner of tv dramas and features and the skills she learned on the floor have only served to round off her experience even more. Now with numerous director credits on continuing dramas to her name, Chantelle has honed her craft and most importantly, proved that she can meet the demands of production. She is based in the North-West of England and is happy to go where the work takes her.

“Chantelle is a hugely talented director and a pleasure to work with: she is creative, collaborative and calm, all of which is allied to a keen storyteller’s instinct. Her work is always excellent.”
