This film is one of a four part series for Nice Rice, winners of The Future of Food 2024, made with footage that company owner Fergus obtained on a recent trip to India, filmed by a local cameraman.
Let’s face it, although being an inspired entrepreneur, Fergus is better in conversation than when reading off a script. So we decided to do an audio-only interview – podcast-style – to put him at ease away from the bright lights and cameras, allowing him to speak naturally. We chopped a long conversation down in to 4 standalone films, that our in-house editor Bruno turned in to some really cool, punchy films for social media.
And with their offices across the corridor from ours in the Shepherds Building, collaborating on this project couldn’t have been easier. We get a lot of free rice now – and it’s quite nice!

As part of a 12-part social series for Hammersmith & Fulham Council’s Interfaith Week, this film captures a heartfelt conversation with Father Richard, who reflects on the universal values shared across all religions. Emphasising the importance of relationships and communication, he reminds us that simple acts like sharing a meal can bring people together, fostering understanding and unity at the heart of interfaith dialogue.
Filmed over two days, our team cycled through the borough, meeting faith leaders from temples, mosques, and churches to explore their perspectives on interfaith and community togetherness. Alongside their insights, we captured b-roll of notable landmarks to root the series in the vibrant local community. Working sustainably and connecting deeply with our neighbors, this project was an enlightening and rewarding journey.
The resulting series is a powerful exploration of interfaith harmony, showcasing the wisdom and compassion of local faith leaders who remind us that while our practices may differ, the core values of kindness, respect, and community are universal. We are proud to have created a series that celebrates unity, diversity, and the shared humanity that binds us together.

Biodiversity and access & benefit sharing expert Bupe Mwambingu from Basecamp Research reached out just a few days before flying to the UN Biodiversity Conference (COP 15).
As a purpose-driven organisation in service of a thriving future for our planet, we jumped on the opportunity to satisfy our curiosity and better understand one of COP’s hottest issues.
With no brief but a fascinating interview, we decided to apply our formula of truth & magic to building a short story from Bupe’s best soundbites and relevant b-roll footage, plus some well-chosen music, to make it relatable and increase its emotional power.
These are the stories the world needs to hear now – and we’re here to tell them.

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.
