Crew Listing


Description

Omari is a Writer-Director from Birmingham, West Midlands.

He recently directed on JAMIE JOHNSON FC - Series 4 (Strike Global / CBBC, TX 2026) and JAMIE’S TREETOP TALES (Zodiak Kids / Sky Kids, TX March 2026), and served as 2nd Unit Director on JUST ACT NORMAL (The Forge / BBC Three). He was Shadow Director on SILENT WITNESS 29, DOCTORS 24, MALORY TOWERS 6, JUSTIN'S HOUSE 5 and THE HAIRDRESSER MYSTERIES.

He has directed sequences with animals, animatronics, action vehicles, drone sequences (with a licensed operator), large crowds (300+), and football sequences. He is confident running multi-camera setups (up to three cameras) and designing one-take scenes.

His recent work leveraged the Ronin 4D to support complex blocking, longer takes and efficient company moves, prioritising performance and continuity while reducing reset time.

He is in post on JAMIE JOHNSON FC - Series 4 (delivers January 2026) and is available immediately for HETV blocks, second unit, and pick-ups.

​Omari is represented by Lucy Fawcett at Sheil Land Associates.
