As part of Hammersmith & Fulham Council’s Green Innovator, we created this two-minute film to capture the energy and impact of local climate innovation in the borough. Filmed across workshops and the final Pitch Night at Scale Space in White City, the film follows five participants as they develop and present ideas tackling challenges from energy and circularity to transport and nature.
Rather than over-scripted interviews, we focused on live moments; pitches delivered on stage, and reflections and reactions immediately after the awards. We allowed the story to unfold in real time. Through centering diverse founders and first-time innovators, the film highlights the power of social modelling and representation, showing that climate action really can come from anyone.
The client praised how the film captured the buzz, tension and excitement in the room.
Along with this hero film we delivered three portrait shorts for social media.
It has since been used to celebrate grassroots innovation, and showcase the borough as a growing hub for green enterprise.

As part of a series we initiated for Hammersmith and Fulham council, articulating what their ethos of Stronger, Safer, Kinder, we made this standalone film for Meanwhile Gardens. When we arrived on a hot summer’s day, and had a beautiful interview spot lined up to speak to Anne MacAlpine-Leny, she told us she didn’t feel comfortable with such a formal setup. So instead we put a radio microphone on her and followed her round the garden as she went about her daily duties, capturing the story as it unfolded.
The film, funded by the Council, has been invaluable for the charity in raising awareness and funds, and has had to full endorsement of Councillor Umeh who thought it perfectly captures the power of LBHF to create a more inclusive, kinder borough.

In response to a brief on “No Place For Hate” we undertook the task to speak to 12 religious leaders in our local borough of Hammersmith & Fulham, and ask them about what we share in common at a time of religious wars and division.
With only two days to conduct interviews around the borough, we took to a cargo-bike with our film-crew and asked contributors to throw away their pre-prepared scripts in favour of honest conversation.
This series was the first on our journey with the borough who have seen the light on our formula for authentic storytelling – bringing out natural, heartfelt answers that build trust and inspire.

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.

LATAM Climathon Sustainability:
The EU’s Climate KIC team wanted to capture the remarkable work in seeding sustainability ideas thanks to their Climathons, run across the globe. This one features the LATAM region.
So we sent out a filming brief document to teams across Latin America and West Africa with filming guidelines in order to grab a snapshot of what went on in 27 countries!
As with all user-generated content the material we got back was of mixed quality. So we devised a graphical format and a pacing for the films that soon turned raw amateur footage in to a compelling argument for why people should attend these remarkable events.
“The end result was EXCELLENT! They did a great job at digesting a lot information and content, and working with them was easy and very pleasant. They take the time to really understand what you need and want to achieve.”
Felipe Caballero, Marketing & Communication Manager

As part of the Catalyst Initiative led by Climate KIC, we produced a two-year impact film reflecting on the legacy of Climathon across Latin America and West Africa. The film steps back from individual events to explore what has grown over time: local climate-innovation ecosystem, and a new generation of innovators finding their voice and community.
Grounded in interviews and driven by data-led storytelling, the film brings two regions together in a shared narrative of collaboration and measurable climate impact. Participants described the programme as life-changing, and witnessing everyone’s passion for tackling climate challenges at a community level left us deeply inspired.
Notice the use of graphics to amplify the messaging and make best of use of limited footage filmed by the delegates themselves across the world.
We created three language versions (English, French, Spanish) to give the films the widest reach possible.
