Divided by one

















Stories of material, process, people and place.


We are Nick and Jorge, and together we are - Divided by One - filmmakers, cinematographers and photographers based in the UK with a passion for design and the built environment. Over the past 10 years, we have each explored and documented our shared heritage, focusing on diverse subjects such as the “pueblos jóvenes” of Peru, the rugged Pan-American Highway, and the striking, colorful cholets of Bolivia, which draw inspiration from indigenous Andean iconography. We have travelled the world together, and drawing on our unique perspectives of shared histories and landscapes, we have formed a partnership producing films for design, architecture and the arts fostering a deeper appreciation for these essential elements of culture.

Our films foster a deep human connection with design; making the abstract accessible and encouraging users and clients to engage with and invest in a space. As well as capturing the beauty, form and style of a project, we tell the story of its making: the materials, process and people behind it. We do this through close observation and continual conversation - with our clients and each other - making our respective roles as director and director of photography indistinguishable, and ensuring a strength of focus and artistic vision. 

We are fascinated by the relationship between humans and space, and with curiosity and an open mind, uncover and capture the moments and details that bring a place to life. The people who use and interact with these spaces play an essential role; our films and their subjects are brimming with life, infused with humour, and profoundly engaging and inquisitive.
