I’m Kirsten Hills, a British-born video journalist and filmmaker based in Florence, Italy. With a passion for storytelling that’s simple, authentic, and meaningful, I specialise in creating films that connect and inspire.

My career began with a degree in politics and broadcast journalism, followed by a BBC traineeship. I went on to work in news and current affairs as a producer, reporter, and presenter, developing my skills in uncovering and sharing compelling stories.

I live in Florence with my Italian husband and two children. Since moving here, I’ve built my business, as a freelancer, collaborating with luxury travel companies, fashion brands, and world-famous museums to create bespoke videos that highlight beauty, culture, and creativity. I continue to work with international news networks CNN, NBC, BBC & ITV.

Over the years I’ve been asked to film destination weddings, which I love to do. Each year I do a limited number of weddings, working with lovely couples, some of whom have become friends.

I’m driven by curiosity and I’m inspired by the quirky, humorous, and unexpected moments of everyday life. Living in Italy offers endless opportunities to discover extraordinary stories in the seemingly ordinary.
