Producing films for international NGOs

We have produced films for international NGOs for several years, working across Africa, the Middle East and Asia.

We work with small crews and are highly experienced at working in remote and challenging locations. We’ve filmed in the deserts of Eastern Sudan to the bustling markets of Lagos or the forests of Borneo.

Our films for NGOs have several objectives: fundraising, awareness campaigns and documenting impact for different programmes.

We work with local country offices, fixers and translators to ensure a smooth film shoot. We advise on suitable stories with the NGO’s comms team early on to ensure we produce the most impactful film possible.

We also usually work with local producers, fixers and crew to ensure that we are sensitive to any cultural issues and are able to engage with the different contributors effectively.
