Powerful films, sensitively made.

As a charity, purpose-led business or public sector organisation, the stories of your clients are your most powerful assets. It is these stories that create a real connection between your work and the public. Film allows the people you work with to speak directly to the public, in their own words, about how your work has transformed their lives.

The right film not only resonates, it informs, engages and inspires action.

Powerful Films, sensitively made

We have been making films with charities, purpose-led businesses and the public sector since 2005. As a small company, we are able to form genuine relationships with the people who we film, in a way that larger organisations can’t.  This can be especially helpful for vulnerable contributors, as they build trust through dealing with the same person throughout the process; from their first contact with the team, up to and during filming, and all the way through to when they see the edited film ready to go out into the world.

Achieving Your Aims

We understand that any money you spend on film has to produce results, so we will discuss your desired outcomes in detail from the start, and how to achieve these.  We can help you identify your specific audience, whether that is new donors or clients, existing supporters, staff members, potential service users, funders or stakeholders. We can then advise you on the best ways to reach them, and how to use your film content on social media, at events, and on your website. We produce high-quality films and film content that matches your specific needs.

Proven Experience

We have been working in this area for many years, making films for  organisations who want to make a positive impact on the world.  Editors and crew members are hand-picked to make sure they are used to working sensitively with tricky subject matter, and that they are experienced in making compelling films with a strong message.  We understand what makes a good story, what holds an audience’s attention, how to get your key points across – and how to do this all with integrity.

Client Testimonials

"Jo is the consummate professional film maker. She quickly grasped the brief, produced an excellent proposal with full costings and timescale, was very flexible and agile in adapating to changing case studies and locations, and was able to get the very best out of all the participants. She produced three fabulous films for Working Families which will last long after the campaign for which they were produced. I would not hesitate in booking Jo for further filming."

Deborah Granville, Working Families

"The film has been an invaluable tool for us over the last months. We’ve used it at so many events and in so many different ways… it never fails to reach people and bring up lots of questions about our clients and our work."

Celia Sands, Director, South London Refugee Association

"The team... were very thorough in all aspects of research, production and post production. They went the extra mile to help us find personalities with just the right stories to tell, and were very professional and thoughtful in their dealings with each individual. We are very pleased with the end product. The tone is light but informative, and it distils our key messages to the audience through real life experiences using both humour and empathy. We were well informed throughout the whole process and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or work with them again in the future."
