Corporate and branded
film production
Maximising your story
Our corporate and branded work gets results, whether you're growing your business or looking to raise awareness for your charity. Every project starts with two questions: what story do you want to tell, and who needs to hear it? We listen closely to your brief, then build a concept designed to make your audience feel something, and then act on that emotion. The aim is always a practical outcome: more clients, more donations, more enquiries - more people seeing who you are and what you stand for.

01
The brief
Catcote Academy wanted a film showing the success of its work experience programme and its school-wide approach to getting young people with learning disabilities into paid employment, from early years through to adulthood. Its results are considerably better than the national average, with former students in full-time work across Hartlepool and beyond. The school wanted one film it could show to employers, to parents, and to schools and organisations across the UK who could learn from its recipe for success.
02
The problems
Fewer than 5% of adults with a learning disability are in paid work nationally. Employers can be reluctant to take on staff with learning disabilities. Parents, too, may assume their children will never be able to work. The film had to shift both views.
03
Our approach
Working with Catcote, we shaped the film around a single line: "If I can see it, I can be it." When young people with learning disabilities see people like them in full-time work, they start to believe they can do it too. So we centred the film on the young people themselves and their sense of empowerment, letting the audience feel what's possible before being told it. Leading local employers explained the real business benefits of getting involved, and Catcote staff described how the programme works, what sets it apart and why it succeeds.
"As soon as we chatted with Andy about the brief he just got it and, more importantly, he got us. He was amazing with our young
people, who shone on camera. We're really proud of this film—it brings so many to tears when they watch it. In a conference setting, it does so much more than we could do just standing up and talking about our success. They say a picture paints a thousand words—to us, this film paints a million."

The outcome
The film premiered at a national conference and immediately saw results, with two significant employers engaging with the programme straight away. Since its release, it has been used as a primary tool for employer engagement, helping Catcote secure new placements and paid roles for their students.
