ENVIRONMENTAL FILMS
Video can transform how people learn about the environment and their role in reducing their impact on it. Knowledge is power and the future of biodiversity depends on a better understanding of the science of the natural world and communicating that to the public and policy-makers. We’ve been involved in making award-winning environmental films for 25 years for broadcast TV (including David Attenborough series), not-for-profits and academia.
KINDS OF ENVIRONMENTAL FILMS WE MAKE

SHOWCASE
Silwood Park 75th Anniversary
Silwood Park is the world’s most famous centre for the study of Ecology and the Environment and is part of London’s Imperial College. This Showcase film features scientists whoa re leading the way to better understanding how to protect biodiversity in the face of global changes.
PROJECT
Transformations to Sustainability (T2S)
We all know that humanity needs to become more sustainable. But how do we reach that goal?
Experts in the field of Transformation to Sustainability guide us through the complex arguments.
PROJECT
T2S: Gold Matters
Artisanal gold mining is a huge and mostly unregulated industry. Globally millions of people are involved. How can we ensure that artisanal gold mining becomes sustainable while ensuring that the miners’ rights are also protected? This film explores the complexities around artisanal gold mining.
PROJECT
T2S: AGENTS
The AGENTS Project (Amazonian Governance to Enable Transformations to Sustainability) works with small scale workers and producers in the Amazon with the aim of helping to create a sustainable system that ensures the future productivity of the region while also ensuring the citizens of the Amazon are treated with justice and equity.
PROJECT VIDEO
Sustainable Gas Institute
Imperial College’s Sustainable Gas Institute is a global leading facility for research into sustainable gas extraction, transport and use.
The Institute’s experts are helping to shape policy and pathways to a more sustainable, lower carbon future.
JOURNAL ABSTRACT
Ecography journal: special edition about Ecological Restoration
An important part of the move to a sustainable future for life on Earth is ecological restoration. Restoration means the return of environments and habitats to best support as much biodiversity as possible. There are many challenges to achieving restoration and this film, which accompanies Ecography Journal’s special addition, addresses them.
PUBLIC INFORMATION
The Friends of Richmond Park commissioned this film to help the public understand how they can ‘Tread Lightly’ in Richmond park, London. Their patron, Sir David Attenborough presented the film which features the park’s wonderful wildlife as well as tips about how to reduce visitors’ impact on the park’s natural space.
“Congratulations on the success of the film. I know everyone concerned is extremely pleased with the way it has been received. And so they should be. It does its job really perfectly.”
“We worked with George to create seven videos about transformations to sustainability for a major research funding programme. This involved interviewing scientists across the world and turning their very diverse reported research findings into compelling narratives that would be accessible to a wider audience. George quickly grasped the most important elements of the research and built a good rapport with the scientists he interviewed. He helped source beautiful imagery that brought the research stories to life, even when the interviews had to be done remotely. We had to factor in a lot of different perspectives on what the films should (and shouldn’t) include, and George gave us patient and thoughtful guidance on how to balance different ideas and ultimately come up with the best video for our intended audience. We’ve had great feedback on the films and wish we could make more!’”
