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.

How easy is it to lose your sense of identity when you have nowhere to live? And how slippery and steep is the slope to recover it? ‘No Fixed Address’ shares the story of former psychotherapist Corky, who lived homeless for over 8 years.

Guardian Labs asked us to make a film for HSBC UK’s existing ‘No Fixed Address’ campaign, wanting a company who could comfortably produce premium-looking content whilst working with real people and sensitive subject matters.

The film received incredibly positive responses. It was also recognised at the EVCOM Clarion Awards, taking home Silver for Branded Content and Bronze in the Film: Social Welfare category.

Composer / Daniel Sonabend

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.

Borrn are breathing fresh air into the baby product market. Their brand story is one of considered simplicity, of beautifully crafted products rooted in brilliant British design and state-of-the-art manufacturing.

We collaborated closely with key personnel, giving them time and space to champion their specific role in the products’ development.

This was one part of a suite of films we produced for Borrn, which included a seven- part series of social clips introducing parents to the broader brand aesthetic. This specific film was used widely to help with B2B  sales, on the Borrn website as well as at trade shows and in-person pitches.

If you’re the parent of a Scout, you know that those Tuesday evenings you give up to drop off and pick up your kid is time well spent. From week to week, season to season, Beaver to Scout you can see your child develop and gain skills they will use for life.

This was our second #skillsforlife story for Scouts, this time around we were asked to champion the parents. We created a narrative around the repeated but ever-evolving weekly trip to Scouts, complete with seasonal weather effects and the all-important family car.

The film was an instant success, picking up huge support from the Scouts community and reaching over a million views through organic shares on social media.

Scouting isn’t just about adventure; it’s about finding a place to belong, and carrying that sense of belonging into the messiness of real life. For the Scouts’ nationwide #SkillsForLife campaign, we crafted a brand film following Nat from her last day at Scouts through the unpredictable challenges of adulthood—showing how what you take with you matters more than the uniform you leave behind.

Shot across four demanding days on the Dorset coast, the production brought together a diverse cast of real Scouts and professional actors. Despite wild weather and a packed shooting schedule, our crew delivered 34 emotionally-charged scenes, each designed to capture the real-world value of Scouting: resilience, leadership, teamwork, and a powerful sense of community.

Launched as part of the Scouts’ national rebrand, the film rolled out across social media, local awareness campaigns, and even premiered in Parliament. With over a million views in the first few weeks, it’s become a cornerstone of Scouts’ recruitment strategy—demonstrating how Scouting delivers skills for life, supports inclusivity, and encourages more adults to volunteer.

“From first conversation to final film, the team instinctively knew what this needed to achieve.”

– Kevin Yeates, Head of Creative, The Scouts
