The Endless Winter
Award Winning Feature Film Series
It may be called Endless but this theatrical, TV and online documentary was a love affair with origins from the get go. Endless is an exploration of how and why the British and European surf scene came to be. It’s told by those who pioneered Europe’s waves and shown through the eyes of two guys (us) who weren’t part of the cultural movement but were captivated by it’s magic.
Our brand partner, Ford Motors were an intrinsic part of the story. They came on the journey with us and were able to showcase their brand and product in a way that was real and believable. They saw an 11% lift in associated sales proving that you don’t have to be salesy to drive value. The industry said the same and we’ve collected a few badges of honour to prove it.

AXA Inspiration

We had the pleasure of working with The Sunday Times and AXA on a series of brand funded documentary films that shine a light on some truly inspiring people and communities – from a dementia friendly London borough, to a 71-year-old world champion athlete.
This series of authentic documentary films helped to highlight the great causes that AXA support in a sincere way that engages audiences while creating brand awareness.

Merrell Heritage
Brand Origins Film
“A true story of motivation, mountaineering, moustaches and the drive to make the best boots in the world.”
Merrell came to us because they had an important story to tell. They made the best boots in the world but needed people to believe it. Recognising that people buy from people, we told the extraordinary tale of the remarkable people who founded their brand. What resulted was a true, very human story of what happens when you bring an engineer/athlete and a craftsman together. Two very different people with the same, unrelenting, vision.

BounceMax - Made to Move You
The iconic shoe brand Hush Puppies (owned by Wolverine Worldwide) came to us with a bold ambition for their new range – they wanted to demonstrate that it delivers The Ultimate Walking Experience, but how best to show this?
We worked with infectiously happy ‘Northern Soul Girl’ Levanna McLean, to make this authentic video in which she naturally dances through the beautiful streets of Barcelona.
The result is an eye-catching and inspiring video and stills campaign that has been launched internationally. The campaign picked up the ‘Best Marketing Campaign’ award at Wolverine’s annual conference.

The Woolf Within
Charity Origins Film
Every movement stems from unique and often life changing origins. We traced the origins of The Restorative Justice Council back to a pivotal meeting between two of it’s greatest advocates, a career criminal and one of his many victims.
Peter Woolf was a prolific offender, who committed about 20,000 crimes. Then he burgled a house, fought with his victim and ended up in prison yet again. This time though it was different. Peter met with his victim, Will, in a restorative justice session. The meeting changed both their lives for ever. Peter and Will tell their story in this powerful short documentary film that has been used as a teaching aid in schools and prisons internationally. PLAY FILM

‘The little known story of one man’s unyielding desire; to tame the icy British waves’
GUL are one of the oldest and best loved wetsuit brands in Europe. They have an authentic origins story that most brands could only dream of, but it’s never been told on film. We worked closely with GUL to tell the story of their wonderfully eccentric founder Dennis Cross. After a great online response, the film was voted to be screened at the London Surf Film Festival in front of GUL’s target audience. PLAY FILM
