RESEARCH FILMS

Complex ideas deserve more

than a quick explainer.

We make films that help researchers and innovators share their work clearly, confidently, and with emotional depth - without losing the nuance.

We start by listening: understanding what your work means, to whom it matters and how best to show that on screen. Then we find the human story; the spark that makes your audience care.

Our background spans broadcast, documentary and education, but what drives us now is curiosity.

Every project is a chance to learn something new, to turn deep, intricate ideas into stories that stay with people.

Whether your goal is public engagement, funding, or visibility in your field, we’ll help you translate your research into a film that’s as intelligent, thoughtful and compelling as the work itself.

“[We felt] really supported. I thought, gosh, they are putting in so much time. It just showed to me, that they do it for the love of it. And the commitment to producing something that everybody can be proud of. It was just a great experience. And I felt that they were totally, totally committed to making something that we were all happy with. I could be confident that they would understand what we were trying to do. And they would help us; take us beyond where we can go ourselves, because we're not experts about that kind of communication. I don't know how many companies fill that niche of an interest in both the humanities and the sciences, making content that is accessible, but it's quite ambitious, intellectually. Plenty of companies make documentaries and so on, but there's something about the way they position themselves… this is great: it's not academia, but it's interested in going into academia and looking at what's going on, and then bringing out the results for a broader audience.”

"Thank you so much for the film. I love it, love it!! It is beautifully constructed and I love the way you build the tension in it and craft the story."

TAIWAN UNDAUNTED

Taiwan’s English-language TV channel, TaiwanPlus, commissioned us to make this feature documentary and four part series, written & presented by journalist Neil E Robbins, about the unique culture, defiant spirit and possible fate of Taiwan. Also available to stream on selected YouTube documentary channels.

LANGUAGE AND RHYTHM

The University of Cambridge wanted to pair a documentary and a podcast series, to explore how research in linguistics led down all sorts of interesting paths. We recruited BBC Radio presenter Hannah Morrison and sent her on a quest to see rhythmic language working its magic, by singing nursery rhymes in primary school, coxing a rowing team and taking in some Shakespeare. The podcast series takes things further into neuroscience, German poetry, comedy and more!

THE STORY OF CAMBRIDGE COMPUTING

You might say that Cambridge has made a few contributions to the world of computing… futurist Richard Watson takes us from Babbage to Turing, revisits the 1980s battle for home computer supremacy, the birth of chip behemoth ARM… and looks to the future, to learn about quantum computers. A half-hour documentary about innovation, 80s nostalgia and the future of technology.

NEWMARKET EQUINE HOSPITAL

A series of mini-documentaries about the work of the hospital in caring for racehorses and family horses alike, showing cutting-edge veterinary science at work. How do you administer a general anaesthetic to a horse? Very carefully!
