About Sketch

We’re a London-based creative agency with over 15 years’ experience producing high-impact films for NGOs, broadcasters, and global brands.

Specialising in documentary storytelling, we work across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East—delivering authentic, visually compelling content that connects with audiences and drives engagement.

Our agile, international team includes experienced directors, editors, fixers, and local crews, trusted by clients such as the British Council, Cabinet Office, Start Network, and Muslim Aid.

Our Approach

At Sketch, we believe that the most powerful films are rooted in authenticity. Our work blends creativity with cultural sensitivity, ensuring every project not only informs but resonates.

Whether we’re documenting life in remote communities or producing corporate films for global audiences, our goal is to tell stories that inspire trust and create lasting impact.

  • We collaborate with local filmmakers, producers, and fixers to ensure cultural accuracy and authentic representation.

  • Small, agile crews are built for each project—efficient, cost-effective, and tailored to the brief.

  • Skilled in working with communities who may have little or no exposure to media, we approach every story with patience and respect.

  • We listen closely to our clients’ goals and turn complex ideas into compelling narratives.

  • Every production is guided by creativity, professionalism, and a commitment to global impact.
