Capturing a different perspective.
Islander is the production identity of Oliver Hegarty, a director and cinematographer based in Belfast.
Focused on creating beautiful images that tell the story in an emotive and memorable way, Islander has created a methodology that helps stretch any budget to cinematic levels.
We specialise in capturing a different perspective. By combining our experience in adventure sports with our ability to capture imagery from both the sea and sky, we can create work that helps bring your story to life. Utilising the latest technology allows us to travel light and with a smaller footprint than was previously possible.
Oliver’s work has been featured in commercials, television, and both short and feature films.
Based in Belfast. Travel worldwide.
Films from the sea.
Islander specialises in water cinematography, with an ability to film in rough seas and dangerous costal aeras such as big wave breaks like Mullaghmore in Country Sligo. We can also provide water safety in the form of a Jet Ski with an inflatable sled and a qualified operator.

Water
Capturing angles from the water, both above and below, with extensive experience in coastal areas and big waves. These unique shots help put the viewer in the middle of the action.
Aerial
Showcasing spectacular locations often requires the use of drones for the aerial ‘birds eye view’. Creating smooth, dynamic motion within a landscape produces a wonderful, cinematic view of the world around us. Equipped with DJI’s latest small-form drone, the Mavic 3, enables us to fly where often others can’t.
