Independently Authentic Storytelling..

Our Mental Health Statement
Central to our ethos is a deep-seated value for people’s mental health.
In an industry notorious for its demanding schedules, high-stakes pressures, and often cutthroat competition and bullying the well-being of individuals can easily become sidelined and in many cases completely ignored.
We recognise that the most compelling stories emerge from a foundation of well-being, empathy and genuine human connection.
In short, we want people to enjoy working with us at every level.
By prioritising mental health, we try to create an environment where creativity can flourish authentically, fostering a truly collaborative atmosphere where artists and creators feel valued, supported and empowered.
We will always endeavour to create great entertainement but never at the expense of somebodys mental and/or physical health.

Been getting loads of lovely comments about the performances in Gone Fishing Short Film, which is fantastic.. But it`s great to see Festivals like @folkestonefilmfest making a point to highlight the cinematography and sound design.. So lucky to have @jennisuitiala_dop as our DOP and @ellisaudio on sound.. Did a brilliant job on The Visit Short Film and again on Gone Fishing Short Film, always above and beyond.. without them both films just wouldn`t be the same and definitely wouldn`t have the same impact.. Thank You x
