The Film
your story through high quality short form film
Yourself
going through an important stage in your life or recalling events or memories from your past
A documentary film always sings if the contributor tells a good tale – and that’s where we come in.
Using skilled broadcast journalists with production expertise, film operators with top-flight camera equipment, post-production editors and professional voiceover actors, we will craft your own mini documentary-style film, promo material, short form film or event videography.
Perhaps you have a special interest you would love to capture on film? Whether it’s cars, aviation, fishing, baking, walking, beekeeping, sailing or anything else, our team will research it in full to bring your passion to life on screen.
Ask us to make a film about…
Someone in your life
they might be fascinating, doing something adventurous, or simply have their own stories and memories to tell
A loved one
a person who is loved and missed that you want to honour on film
A group of people
your family, friends or a community group that has a collective story to tell
A business
a significant work or business venture with a compelling narrative
We can film an episode about a part of someone’s life, a film surrounding their nostalgic objects and recollections, focus on something they’re involved in, a tale of the unsung hero in the community, a record of a skilled craftsperson, a ‘this is your life’ retirement film or a memoir about a life full of history.

How we create your personal documentary
By only focusing on a few projects at a time, we make sure we can give each commission our full attention and creativity.
Every commission is unique and we take time to create a storyboard with you. There are no rigid templates, set ideas or packaged prices. We take the brief, give a quote and sculpt your vision into a bespoke, personal documentary -from a mini film up to any length.
Our experienced and flexible team works efficiently – we are unencumbered by huge production overheads and servicing every corporate client we can reach.
Risk assessments, insurance, licensing, legal knowledge of editorial risk, interview guidance with the client, permissions and access preparation are just part of the preproduction. We apply our creativity to the storyboard and then, producer led, we plan the shoot with meticulous attention to detail; apply our editorial rigour and filming knowledge.
We edit in post-production including using our paid music copyright access. We can add animation and captions if required. You can view your film remotely in an online green room before the final edit which we then transfer to you digitally and securely or via hard copy. You can enjoy the creative process without the worry. We bear the load, so you have absolute confidence in what we do.
