Fresh Bread Film Co. was founded by Paul Cuthbert and Michael Wagenknecht - a director and videographer duo that share a deep love of film, photography and video, with skillsets that compliment each other through each phase of production.

Paul Cuthbert is a career DOP with an impressive track record. Paul has worked in over 36 countries on 5 continents shooting documentaries, feature films, episodic tv, commercials and social media content. Having worked for companies from Blue Ant Media to Discovery Channel, Paul is just as happy shooting as he is producing and directing. Paul’s distinct style on set brings total professionalism, and is full of fun.

Michael Wagenknecht first fell in love with the camera on the road playing futbol, exploring the world with a ball at foot and camera in hand. Since then, he has been compelled by visually diverse scenes and culturally diverse life as seen on the road. His work combines emotional connection between humanity, sport and culture. Michael shoots video, stills and is the lead editor.

  • From initial ideas to full-fledged concepts, we brainstorm, collaborate and develop the creative foundation for your project.

    Whether light-hearted, silly or serious, we explore many avenues to make the project complete.

  • We handle the crucial planning phase before the actual filming begins. This includes budgeting, scheduling, storyboarding, casting, crewing, location scouting, and logistic preparations.

    With us, there are no surprises on shoot day. (Well, only good ones.)

  • We handles all aspects of filming on the day where the vision is captured. We setup efficiently & creatively, and offer real-time monitoring... and that's a wrap! Well, not yet...

  • We call full wraps once our final product is delivered! Right after the shoot, we ensure the footage is backed up safely and organized so that our rough cut comes quickly, but thoroughly. Then, we a top-notch final edit while handling everything else from sound design, music, colour, graphics and titles. Finally, we deliver the final cut in the appropriate formats.
