With tech entrepreneurs prioritising profit over people and social engagement over safety, being online means being on-guard. It’s especially treacherous for children - with slippery slopes, suspicious characters and unintended consequences. Thus, the NSPCC tirelessly fighting for greater online protection.
Bringing the internet into reality isn’t easy - especially when you’re not working with a blockbuster budget. Using simple graphics and sound design, coupled with first-rate performances from our talented young cast, audiences get an insight into how it feels to navigate online life as a child.
Originally produced in 2020, we updated the film in 2022, featuring newly shot scenes and versions redesigned for better engagement across social media. The film has been awarded Gold and Silver Telly awards in Cause Marketing and Public Interest.

Beyond the headlines and behind the national campaigns, we take a look at 24 hours of NSPCC services - witnessing the charity’s efforts in protecting children, preventing abuse and transforming lives.
Distilling the enormous range and scope of NSPCC services into a single bitesize, emotionally engaging film was the primary challenge. Our response was to develop a script built around the sort of conversations that real practitioners were having with the public, to explain what they do, every day.
The campaign exceeded expectations, initially launched online before being adapted for national TV due to its success. It not only won multiple prestigious awards, including for Brand Communication and Fundraising, but also set a creative benchmark for future NSPCC adverts, underlining the significant impact of our storytelling and production capabilities.

With the country caught in the grip of a pandemic, children across the UK have become significantly more vulnerable to neglect and cruelty. The NSPCC’s message is clear: they’re still here, fighting for no child to be left behind.
Our relationship with the NSPCC has been built on more than a decade of working together - they trust us to create impactful films, that often feature young casts, regardless of difficult extenuating circumstances.
The film has spearheaded the NSPCC’s ‘We’re Still Here’ campaign across their social channels, garnering over 1.25 million views on Youtube alone by the end of 2020.

A showcase of modern British farming at its freshest, responsibly-sourced best, Field & Flower give us a glimpse at how their high-quality produce journeys from their home to yours.
Shot in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, Field & Flower needed to find a production company that could comfortably create premium looking content with minimal crew and an extremely tight turnaround, all while sensitively championing their carefully crafted brand.
The project was delivered in under three weeks from inception to delivery, launched via Sky Adsmart throughout the UK and maximising exposure to an audience newly reliant on online grocery shopping.

What comes to mind when you hear Men’s Shed? A dusty chair and a crackling radio? Or a space where men quietly rebuild what loneliness has taken - routine, purpose, and friendship.
Sunnyside is a short documentary exploring male mental health, grief, and the quiet strength of community spaces. Set in an East London Men’s Shed, it follows Gerry, Steve and Howard—three men forging connection and meaning through woodworking, companionship, and cups of tea.
Filmed during the early months of the pandemic, we used a mix of digital and 16mm film to reflect the homespun texture of the Shed itself. Audio interviews, recorded separately, helped contributors open up without the pressure of a camera - capturing voices with intimacy and ease.
Originally conceived as a self-funded side project, we gifted the finished film to the Men’s Sheds Association and released it in partnership with them during Mental Health Awareness Week. “There is certainly going to be a greater understanding of social isolation and loneliness,” said Chief Officer Charlie Bethel. “The need for Sheds will be more important than ever.”
Viewed thousands of times and shared widely, Sunnyside helped spotlight a simple truth: connection doesn’t need to be complicated - it just needs a space to begin.

As the UK settles in for another chilly Christmas, with schools, shops and neighbours’ doors shutting, where can vulnerable children turn for help when they need it? Abuse and neglect don't take Christmas off, so neither does Childline.
Shooting at night on the bitterly cold streets of East London, the NSPCC needed a production partner who could get emotive performances while prioritising the comfort and health of a very young cast.
Shared widely across the charity's social platforms, the film served a dual purpose in the weeks before Christmas 2019, generating support for the charity while directly raising awareness about Childline availabilty with youth audiences.

‘Actually I Can’ follows the inspiring journey of Charlie, a young wheelchair user, as he overcomes societal misconceptions and his own lack of self-belief to find a renewed sense of purpose through volunteering.
Leonard Cheshire asked us to make a film that captured the spirit of their #ActuallyICan campaign because they needed a collaborative, empathetic approach to showcasing their services.
The film received overwhelmingly positive responses, earning over 250,000 views across social channels and successfully driving volunteer sign-ups. It was awarded Gold for Best Brand Communication at the EVCOM Clarion Awards and Bronze for Best Production in the Creativepool Annual 2020.

Every school pupil knows what it's like to feel under pressure - that first walk through the playground, that seemingly impossible sum, that final exam.
Explore Learning help strengthen young student's resolve so they can stand tall in the moments that matter.Clever casting and carefully considered direction were key to capturing the expressions on the faces of our student heros, which would do so much of the storytelling for this, our second advert produced for Explore Learning.
Launched on the Sky Adsmart platform, along with several cutdowns for social media and VOD, the film played a primary role in driving traffic to the Explore Learning website and subsequent sign-ups.
