Hammersmith & Fulham Council asked us to produce a film supporting their new Hammersmith & Fulham Climate Bond film initiative. It’s designed to engage the local community in funding ecological projects. The client wanted a compelling story that explained benefits, encouraged participation, and showcased the council’s ambitious target of creating a carbon net zero borough by 2030.
Our brief was to make the content engaging, informative, and shareable while reflecting the council’s environmental values. To meet this, we created a film that highlighted how residents, local groups, businesses, and external investors could make a direct impact in their community while earning a fixed return on a low-risk investment. We emphasised the positive outcomes of the Climate Bond, demonstrating how the funds would support carbon reduction projects and foster community-led climate action. Sustainability was central to the production. We meticulously tracked and reduced emissions at every stage using the Ad Green Calculator. The team cycled to shoots, used an e-cargo bike for travelling footage, ate vegetarian meals on set, and powered our office with certified renewable energy.
This resulted in a total production footprint of just 0.018t CO2e—far below the industry average—reflecting our commitment to environmentally responsible filmmaking. The film played a key role in raising awareness and funding. The first round of the Climate Bond exceeded expectations, reaching £1 million ahead of schedule. The success of this campaign underlined the power of film to communicate complex initiatives, inspire community participation, and reinforce the council’s commitment to sustainability. The project continues to support the second round of funding, demonstrating the enduring value of strategic, purpose-driven video content in promoting climate action and civic engagement.

Aiming to raise £5million over the next few years is the most ambitious target ever set by a local authority. But that’s what Hammersmith & Fulham Council in London has embarked on, to create a carbon net zero borough by 2030.
To help the council reach as many people as possible, we were brought on board to create a short film. This film unpacks their Green Investment climate bond initiative, and to provide additional visibility, we offered three impactful social media edits for their various channels.
Keeping it short, sweet and punchy, this is one of the three social clips being rolled out to the council’s audience of local residents and interested parties. By distilling the key messaging down to its salient points and using some eye-catching techniques – and a selection of pacy music that communicates energy and tone – our 30-second edits grab attention whilst delivering a clear call to action.
About the Hammersmith & Fulham Green Investment initiative
This new investment opportunity will allow the local community to fund climate and ecological projects in Hammersmith & Fulham. The green scheme aims to raise up to £5 million over the next few years, and will allow local groups, residents and businesses – as well as external investors – an opportunity to make a direct impact in the community. The funding will enable the borough council to reduce carbon emissions and, and investors to earn a fixed return on their low-risk investment. It’s a win-win-win, and one we’re proud to be involved with.

One of a series of Big Walk events hosted by The Eden Project’s Eden Communities initiative.
We love films that give us a chance to really capture good things going on and try and drive change as a result.
This film is part of a wider series of daily updates in which we followed walkers from London, Cornwall, Wales, Scotland and Ireland, journeying with them as they connected with local projects and communities along the way to shine a light on the amazing works / heart that people are undertaking around our country. The full team involved a shooting director, on-site editor, producer, photographer, PR and a daily social media push to drum up interest and grow audiences in this important project, as part of Eden communities’ wider projects that still run today.
In this film, our crew worked alongside zero 30 Media to capture the community spirit found at Windmill Hill City Farm in the Bristol area. As a site which was saved from being developed into a high-security lorry park 40 years ago through the efforts of the local community, a previously derelict area has been transformed into a green space.
Now a well-established local attraction, Windmill Hill City Farm offers free access to all and provides kids and families with a valuable space for the community to enjoy a natural environment and interact with farm animals.
