Featured projectThe Royal British Legion

Stories that earn attention.
A good documentary lets people see for themselves. We find the story, earn the trust of the people in it and film with patience.
Story first
We research and plan before we film, so the story has a shape and the shoot has a purpose.
Handled with care
Personal stories and sensitive subjects, filmed respectfully and with the people in them kept informed.
Made to be shared
A full-length film plus short cuts for social, events and fundraising.
Priced by credit
Know the cost before we start. Pay-as-you-go, or save with a monthly plan.
