Meet Mo, Moray McGregor: a Cape‑Town born creative powerhouse with a sharp mission‑first mindset, and a résumé grounded in solid film‑industry experience.
Fresh from university, Moray has worked in every corner of the entertainment world—directing his own company in the UK, installing unforgettable private, commercial and live events.
Returning to Cape Town to join the Commercial, Film and TV Industry. Mo moved from Standby to Art Director, learning critical movie making and story telling techniques along the way. That breadth of experience has turned him into a versatile leader who knows how to make every project succeed.
What sets Moray apart? He’s a driven, detail‑obsessed thinker who thrives when the stakes are high and the curved balls are flying. Whether he’s juggling tight deadlines, coordinating cross‑functional teams, or crafting fresh, operational solutions, Mo brings energy, precision, and a knack for turning challenges into opportunities. In any creative endeavor, his presence is instantly felt as a catalyst for progress.
Travel has always fuelled Moray’s curiosity. From the bustling streets of Asia, to the vibrant scenes of Cape Town, the heartbeat of the UK and Europe, and Australia, he’s collected stories and perspectives that fill his work with depth and global scope.
When he’s not behind the camera, on a monitor, or leading an Art team, you’ll find Moray chasing sunsets from a drone’s eye, or exploring the ocean's silent depths on a scuba dive. In every realm—film, events, photography—Moray McGregor delivers passion, expertise, and an unquenchable drive to bring extraordinary stories to life.
Word on Mo...

Director
“Moray's work ethic and practical approach to design are unparalleled. He has an innate ability to solve complex challenges efficiently and effectively.

Production Designer
“Moray is a triple threat: talented, meticulous, and funny. At every step, it was Moray showing up first, wrestling every detail to the ground and then, when the rest of us were taking a sigh of relief, it was Moray who followed up to the very end, always making us laugh.”
Production Designer
“The word I would use to best describe Mo is tenacious. Whether it’s chasing decisions, finishes, approvals or deadlines, he approaches all aspects of the job with charm and persistence.

Stunt Coordinator
“Dark Arts has been one of the best, if not the best, Standby team I have ever worked with. Their commitment and professionalism allow me to focus on my own responsibilities without worrying about the shooting crew. At the same time, they bring humour and positivity to the workplace, creating an enjoyable atmosphere that I deeply value.”
