Stories That Change How People See the World
Every meaningful film begins by understanding people.
Before I think about cameras or scripts, I listen. I want to understand what drives your organisation, the people whose lives you touch, and why your work matters. That's where the strongest stories are found.
For more than thirty years I've worked with charities, businesses and international organisations to tell stories that inform, inspire and encourage people to act. Some films have reached world leaders. Others have followed children, volunteers or local communities. The scale has never mattered as much as the story.
The films that stay with us aren't simply full of information. They help us care. They allow us to see the world through someone else's eyes and remind us that behind every project, every campaign and every statistic are real people.
Whether you're looking to engage supporters, employees, customers or partners, my aim is always the same: to create an honest film that reflects who you are and what you stand for. One that feels authentic because it is.
Making a film should be an enjoyable and collaborative experience. I'll work alongside your team from the first conversation through to the finished film, helping uncover the story you want to tell and finding the moments that give it meaning. Together we'll create something that not only looks beautiful, but leaves a lasting impression.
Fundraising with Corporate Partnerships
Over the years I have produced films that support some of the world’s most successful fundraising and corporate–charity partnerships. My work has brought together companies such as British Airways, Aer Lingus, Sheraton, Pfizer, and Johnson & Johnson with organisations including UNICEF, the Task Force for Global Health, and the FIA Foundation. These films have helped to maintain vital long-term relationships and to demonstrate that businesses can play a role far beyond that of a donor or sponsor — becoming active participants in the programmes they support.
One example is a film with UNICEF and British Airways, featuring Cat Deeley and BA cabin crew visiting a project in Brazil. By giving voice to the staff, ambassadors, and local communities, the film showed the real-world impact of passenger donations while recognising the cabin crew’s essential contribution. By capturing the voices and experiences of everyone involved, these films help charities and their partners see themselves as part of the same story — one where collaboration makes the difference.
Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility
Sustainability and corporate social responsibility are no longer peripheral—they’re central to how organisations define their purpose and measure their impact. Film can play a unique role here. It goes beyond the written word or the annual report, giving people a chance to connect with the human stories behind your strategy.
I believe my experience could benefit your team because, as a filmmaker, I work closely with sustainability and comms teams—not to replace existing channels, but to enhance them with an independent perspective that’s deeply attuned to sustainability goals.
These films can help you:
Showcase your sustainability journey to employees, investors, or customers
Strengthen your B Corp or ESG reporting with real-world storytelling
Support award entries, impact reports, or milestone moments
Inspire internal teams by connecting them to the bigger picture
Share your voice in policy, media, or international forums
Deepen engagement on social media with meaningful, visual content
Here are a few short excerpts:
First, we step inside Witchmark Distillery, where sustainability isn’t a side note—it’s the blueprint. Built with the ambition to become a certified B Corp, Witchmark is reimagining how a distillery can operate, from sourcing and energy to community and circularity. Their ground-up approach offers more than just a local success story; it’s a potential template for how an entire industry might evolve.
In another piece, we followed Pfizer’s river blindness programme into some of the most remote parts of Africa, capturing how strategic drug donations are transforming lives delivering healthcare to the last mile—where infrastructure is limited, but the impact can be life-changing.
Finally, Sir Frank Williams shared his personal reflections on the lifelong consequences of road traffic injury—especially in parts of the world where medical care and rehabilitation are out of reach. These clips are drawn from longer productions and have been specially edited for the website. Each one reveals what happens when bold ideas meet human realities—and why the way we tell those stories matters.
