Arts Film Production
The simple power of the Vignette.
Our Arts films focus on telling compelling stories in as visually engaging and cinematic a way as possible. We make original short form films to document the process of arts projects and also as arts films and artist promos for entering into film festivals.
We’ve successfully produced arts films for many UK music, dance and visual arts agencies, many of which have become long term partnerships including Leeds based arts organisations; Yorkshire Dance, Northern Ballet and Leeds Playhouse.
Our arts films can be as simple or as complex as a budget permits and may involve additional set design, costume, make up, talent or film equipment. We will input 100% of our creativity into your project regardless of the size of your budget and will always advise you on creative cost saving production techniques to help you get the best out of your budget.
Most important to us is that each film is memorable, reflects your brief and gets to the heart of the story being told.
