Meet Our Team

FILM MAKER

Hi my name is Jake, I am a Production Trainee at SAZ MEDIA.

I am extremely happy to have started working at SAZ MEDIA, they have given me the opportunity to gain the hands on experience in the media production industry that I needed, there is also the added bonus of everyone being friendly, helpful and patient with me.

My journey to get to this point started in college when I picked film production as a subject on a whim, and I instantly fell in love with the full process that goes into producing content. This drove me to get to university and in turn get me to the point I am now, starting a career at SAZ MEDIA.

In my free time I enjoy traveling to new places with my dog and camera so I can practice and improve my photography, whilst also getting much needed exercise. In my down time I also enjoy playing video games and watching films.

CREATIVE IMPACT FACILITATOR

Hi, I’m Jordan. I am Creative Impact Facilitator here at SAZ MEDIA!
The path that lead me to this role has been shaped by my love for photography. Its been a passion of mine for years, but I always knew I wanted to be in a role where I could make a difference in people’s lives and support communities. That’s why I studied a degree in Health & Social Care, with a focus on the mental health needs of children and young adults. For six years, I spent my summers working as a photographer at children’s camps across the U.S.

During this time I saw firsthand how important creative outlets can be for young people and how they help build connections. Now, in my role, I get to create workshops where people can express themselves, learn new skills, improve their mental health and wellbeing, and connect with others. It’s incredibly rewarding to be part of such meaningful work!

JUNIOR VIDEO EDITOR

Hey there, I'm Marvellous Meggison, a video editor at SAZ MEDIA.

Before joining this incredible team, I've always had a passion for photography, filmmaking, and editing. This passion began in my childhood and evolved into a professional pursuit since 2018. My journey has allowed me to capture everything from events to properties and sports.

At SAZ MEDIA, my role feels even more profound. Here, I get to use my skills to help organisations and communities convey messages that align with our commitment to creating social change and making the world a better place.

Working here is truly a joy. I'm surrounded by wonderful human beings and creative individuals who are always willing to share knowledge and help you grow in every aspect of media.

PHOTOGRAPHER

In 2018 I applied for a position as a photography workshop tutor at SAZ MEDIA and was taken on by the director, Sara Auty. This is my current job and I really enjoy sharing my knowledge and skills with both the young people and older people who sign up to these workshops (which include skills such as light painting, panoramas and black and white film photography/developing).

SAZ MEDIA is a very valuable asset to the community around Stockport and I encourage everyone to make use of this fantastic opportunity.

I am now retired and support the team to communicate with deaf team members and the deaf community.
