Sam Okell GBCT
Digital Imaging Technician
GBCT Board Member (2026-Now)
With 14+ years experience in the industry, working under some of the best technicians from around the world, Sam started on his path as a DIT back in 2017.
Whilst studying at the Manchester Film School, Sam quickly realised his passion lay in the technical side of the creative process, and with the evolution of the DIT department, this naturally led to his current role as a Digital Imaging Technician.
Working on some of the countries biggest and most challenging projects, Sam has developed a calm and professional approach to the constraints and pressures of the industry, whilst maintaining the integrity of both the media and the look of the project, from Prep to Post.
Sam setup Fantail Ltd to assist in building up a network of skilled technicians in the North of England, supplying valuable training and resources to the next wave of DITs, a service that was not available locally at the time.
