Mary-Sue Masson specialises in narrative comedy and improv. She has worked with leading agencies and broadcasters including Comedy Central and the BBC, where she trained in Performance Direction at Elstree Studios. She directs commercials and branded content both in the UK and the US, alongside developing her own scripted work. Her short films Who’s The Daddy and Wake Up are currently streaming on Disney+. Although she’s best known for finding the funny, Mary-Sue is equally at home with more serious material — her multi award-winning work for THE CHAT showcases her range across both comedy and serious storytelling.

WHAT OTHER FOLKS SAY

‘Mary-Sue is an absolute joy to collaborate with and is just as hilarious off-camera as she is behind it. She’s brimming with quick wit and an infectious sense of humour that kept the cast and crews laughing on set. She has a very rare ability to make even the smallest of narrative observations sing with her cheeky and razor-sharp comedic style. We gave her a fun idea, she made it an epically fun one. You can’t learn that kind of stuff, you’re born with it. 11/10 would work with again.’

Jason Stone. David Reviews

‘Mary-Sue is a collaborative, approachable Director, brimming with ideas on how to elevate the scripts and films she works on. I had a wonderful time producing for her and felt that we were partners from day one. As an ex-agency Creative Director, Mary-Sue’s natural rapport with agencies is a joy to watch and undoubtedly makes for a smoother production process. I hope to work with her again, not least because we had a good old laugh.’

Hello

I’ve written and directed for many agencies and Broadcasters including The BBC where I trained at Elstree Studios in Performance Direction. I specialise in narrative comedy and improv. A good example is my original work for Haribo, where all the kids dialogue is totally unscripted. I’ve also made a couple of films, my Comedy Short Who’s The Daddy is currently streaming on Disney + Although I love to find the funny, I’ve also shot some serious stuff, notably THE CHAT. If it’s a great idea, I’m all over it. That’s enough from me – see below for a few reviews from some of the lovely folks I’ve worked with.
