Creating story-driven documentary style content.
Roadbook:
The Journey Forwards
Working with editorial travel brand Roadbook we collaborated with creative director Matthew Johnston to bring to life his vision of a film that asked people what the future of travel looks like, in a world changed by the pandemic and an ever increasing awareness of the climate crisis.
Drawing from our creative community around the globe we conducted interviews over phone calls, Whatsapp voice notes and zoom, and licensed a small collection of home videos that capture memories of travel from New York to Shanghai, London to Brazil, and beyond.
As well as the main film, we also created 3x 30 second films each focused on one question: 'What is responsible travel to you?' 'Is travelling part of the human condition?' 'What is the future of travel?'

How To Train
The Perfect Woman
We were commissioned to create a trailer for new theatre production in development, How To Train The Perfect Woman, from Bric à Brac Theatre. With this piece rather than place captioning over the top of the images, we worked them into the design of the video.

Mohsin Zaidi
Showreel created for speaker and author Mohsin Zaidi.
Editing together some existing footage and additional photography (filmed by us) we were able to craft a showreel that has its own story arc. This helped to showcase and reflect Mohsin’s ability to speak in a way that builds a fully realised picture of people and experiences we don’t often hear about, helping us to connect us to their emotional truth.
