We’ve been making ethnographic films and films for research for over a decade; helping public, third and private sector organisations to bridge the communication gap between citizens and decision-makers.
We partner with organisations such as Innovation Unit, ThePublicOffice, Hopkins Van Mil, The King’s Fund and Design Council, helping to reveal the humanity that is often forgotten in large bureaucratic systems.
We embed ourselves in the daily routines of communities and individuals to create films that can inspire profound changes at the heart of policy development, design and evaluation.
