• CHARACTER DRIVEN STORYTELLING, BEAUTIFULLY FILMED.

  • DOCUMENTARIES. COMPASSIONATE. EMPOWERING. INSPIRING.

    We are experienced Scottish filmmakers making compassionate and inspiring work. In 2023, we started working on a very ambitious documentary – “the female suicide film project (working title)”. The film focuses exclusively on female experience of suicide, from a wide variety of different perspectives, involving people with lived experience, women who have lost loved ones to suicide and support services. Watch this space for further updates.

  • DRONE FOOTAGE. UNIQUE VIEWS. OPENING UP OPPORTUNITIES.

    CORPORATE. DOCUMENTARY. ADVERTISING. CREATIVE. We’re more than a little bit in love with the possibilities of drone footage. It’s a great way to set context and to experience something familiar from a totally different perspective, bringing a depth of creativity and freedom to our projects. It also great for bringing in energetic movement and with a large sensor and hasselblad lenses, the images are stunning.

  • CORPORATE VIDEOS CREATIVELY FILMED.

    THE POWER OF ADVERTISING. It’s been amazing to watch our long term client, Candid, as they’ve grow massively from a small start-up into a corporate company with 50+ employees and an outstanding vision to protect families, with life insurance, should the worse thing happen. Because it does, everyday.

Kathleen loves all aspects of the filmmaking process and learning new things. At the moment, it's drones, that add an extra dimension to our storytelling! She also loves train journeys and being by the sea. "I love empowering, uplifting, challenging stories; including the kind that others find difficult to tell.

James is a HUGE movie fan; he also loves tech and gadgets... specifically camera tech.... thankfully. He's always looking to engage with new technologies and to figure out how things work best. “Filmmaking to me is a marriage of art and technology... Sometimes it's 50/50... Sometimes it's 90/10...I love the challenge of finding that balance for each project.”
