Our documentary films
Our approach
Documentary filmmaking offers a chance to dive deep into complex stories.
Our interest in the interdependencies between communities and their environment led us to produce short and long-form documentaries.
We spend time on the ground, building trust with the people we film so that their voices shape the narrative.
From remote villages to urban scenes, we seek to capture the subtle ways in which landscapes, traditions and daily life influence one another.

How we work
From first meeting to final cut
We are a small, independent team, and we follow each film from beginning to end. We take the time to understand before we film, we let things unfold in front of the camera, and we keep the edit in our own hands.
Time and trust
Weeks or months of relationship-building before a camera ever rolls. Trust is earned, not assumed.
Observational approach
We film what is happening, not what we ask to happen. We never stage scenes that would not happen on their own.
Edited in-house
We handle almost all of the post-production ourselves, from the edit to the final grade. Keeping a hand on every step keeps the film honest and true to the people in it.
Commissions
Commission a film
We work with a small number of institutional partners each year, such as foundations, NGOs and cultural organisations, on commissioned documentary films that align with our approach and values.
Get in touchInstitutions
Museums, foundations and cultural institutions commissioning documentary work that tells the stories behind their missions.
NGOs & development
Organisations working on conservation, cultural heritage or human rights who need films that communicate with nuance and humanity.
Editorial
Magazines and media commissioning original documentary series with full editorial independence for the filmmaker.
Education
Schools and universities licensing films for classroom use, with accompanying educational materials where appropriate.
Newsletter
Letters from the field
New expeditions before they are announced, field notes and photo stories. A few emails a year, never more.
