PROFILE
Henri Marais’s film career connects the action of Mad Max: Fury Road with the controlled tension of Eye in the Sky and the imagined world of The Giver. His Key Grip credits on these productions sit alongside Resident Evil: The Final Chapter, Grimsby and G20, giving him a substantial body of work across very different styles of filmmaking.
Specialist unit work is another thread in Henri’s career: he has worked as second-unit Key Grip on Bloodshot and Now You See Me 3, splinter-unit Key Grip on Warrior, and Key Rigging Grip on Escape Room 2. Between long-form productions, his commercial work has included Pepsi, Sky Football, Aramco, BMW and S. Oliver. His credits show a sustained working relationship with Moonlighting Films alongside a wider network of production companies.
