Producer
Laura McBride
Laura is a producer and Jack's longest-standing collaborator. They have worked together for years, across commercial shoots and their own film work, and on a job Laura produces alongside him: call sheets and risk assessments to crew, the on-set point of contact for cast and client, budget and float reconciled at wrap. On the NSS Magazine shoot she was lead contact across both days while Jack was off-site, including a pre-dawn coastal start at St Abbs that left no room for things to go wrong.
She works under HiJack Productions and SFixer Ltd, and the work she and Jack have delivered together covers commercial, fashion and film:
- NSS Magazine, Elena Mirò FW26. A two-day fashion editorial across St Abbs and Edinburgh for the Milan title. Laura ran production on the ground both days. Read the case study.
- Lululemon, Outerwear, Edinburgh. A fast-paced content shoot for lululemon's European social team, catching local influencers at sunrise as they ran the city across Edinburgh's hills and its best-known spots. SFixer handled permits, local transport and catering, and worked the early start around the road access after the Arthur's Seat hill fire.
- Sleazy Tiger. A short film written and directed by James Ley and featuring Alan Cumming. A HiJack Productions and Lothian Films co-production, produced by Laura and Jack. A Vimeo Staff Pick, selected for the Glasgow Short Film Festival in competition and Frameline's 50th edition, with a run through LGBTQ+ festivals from Amsterdam to Sydney. Watch the film.
Between them that is a fashion client out of Milan, a global activewear brand, and a festival-selected short. Different briefs, the same two people across all of them.
