From brief to finished film.

How we told the story of a family-run school with campuses on two continents.

01 · The brief

Show what makes St Giles different

St Giles has grown from two rented rooms in London to schools in the UK and Canada, while staying family-run. The film needed to tell that story and show future students what studying there is really like.

03 · The outcome

A school that feels like a family

A 2 min 31 sec brand film, plus films for individual campuses, that shows the teaching, the welcome and the friendships students take home. Shared across online, digital and social channels.

02 · Our approach

The family, the teachers and the students

We interviewed members of the founding family and staff, and filmed classes, homestays, sport and days out across the campuses, from London's streets to the harbour in Vancouver.
