Stories that Move.
“Imagination, working at full strength,
can shake us out of fatal, adoring self-absorption
and make us look up and see – with terror or with relief –
that the world does not in fact belong to us at all”
Ursula K. Le Guin
THIS IS WHERE THE WORK LIVES
Real communities. Real histories. Art that does something.

WHY WE EXIST
Because the stories that matter most are the ones almost nobody tells.
We tell them – from LGBTQ+ elders reclaiming their history to climate artists responding to crisis with imagination and hope.
Our mission is to use creativity as a force for connection, care, and change. Every project we make leaves something behind – skills, confidence, belonging, and new ways of seeing the world.
OUR PRACTICE
Participation is power.
We work with people, not on them. Every story we tell is built from trust, deep listening, and genuine collaboration – shaped by anthropology, filmmaking, and the belief that the people closest to a story are always its best authors.
WORK WITH US
We take on a small number of commissions each year – working with organisations, social enterprises, and community groups whose values align with ours.
If you’re doing something that matters – for people, culture, or the planet – we want to help you tell that story.
We make:
- Documentary & Community Films: Real stories, real people, told with craft and care.
- Impact & Campaign: Films For climate, sustainability, and social change organisations who need their work seen.
- Participatory Storytelling Projects: Workshops and co-creation processes that put communities at the centre.
Rooted in East London. Connected to the World.
Newham is one of London’s youngest, most diverse, and most environmentally vulnerable boroughs. It’s where we work, where our communities are, and where the stories we tell are most urgent.
This is why we’re here. And through our work – and roots stretching from East London to Mozambique – we connect local stories to global movements. The numbers tell part of the story:
Why Newham?
LGBTQIA+ PEOPLE: 4% of Newham’s population (2021 Census) calling Newham home, many of whose histories have never been recorded.
YOUNG PEOPLE: Approximately 24.6% of Newham’s population are under 18, growing up in a borough on the frontline of climate change.
CLIMATE CHANGE: Newham has a population of about 350,000 residents, with a high proportion living in areas vulnerable to climate-related impacts, communities are already living with the consequences.
OUR VALUES
Conscious Practice
We work with full presence and full intention - listening before speaking, feeling before filming, always asking whose story this really is.
Radical Togetherness
We don't work on communities. We work with them, alongside them, learning from them. Every project is built on trust, not extraction.
Art That Acts
Every project we make responds to something urgent and real - climate, belonging, memory, justice. Beauty is not enough. We make work that does something.
Lead With Love
We show up with warmth, playfulness and absolute conviction. This is serious work made joyfully. That's not a contradiction - it's the whole point.
