Port Talbot: Our Town, Our Fight

Client: Unite the Union

What started as a dossier became a human story, steel, survival, and the soul of a town.

Unite handed me a thick dossier on Port Talbot, facts, figures, job losses, closures. We didn’t want a factsheet. We wanted people. So we built the film around voices from the town: steelworkers, families, kids facing an uncertain future. The result was a grounded, human story, not just about jobs, but about place, dignity, and what happens when a government turns its back on a working community. No spin, no stats. Just real people, speaking plainly. It hit hard.

Warm This Winter: Campaign Wrap-Up

Client: Warm This Winter Coalition

A fast-paced trustee facing wrap-up for a two-year campaign, built to show impact.

This film marked the end of a two-year campaign and was aimed squarely at trustees and funders. It needed to show urgency without spin — to capture the energy of the movement and the results it delivered. Fast-paced, sharply edited, and emotionally grounded, it condensed months of protest, pressure, and wins into a tight narrative. Built for clarity. Made to land.

FBU Liverpool: Rally Film

Client:  Fire Brigades Union (FBU)

Their highest-performing film shot in a day, built to last.

Shot in Liverpool in a single day, this film was shaped around story, starting with a personal anecdote, then widening into a sharp political case. We made two versions: one to drive turnout for a major rally, and another timeless cut for long-term use. It’s the FBU’s best-performing film to date, proof that if you get the structure right, one day of filming can go a long way.

Enough Is Enough

Client: Enough Is Enough / All major UK trade unions

The launch film that lit the fuse, a rallying cry for the movement that brought the unions together.

This was the film that kicked off Enough Is Enough,  a coalition campaign uniting trade unions across the UK at a time when people had had enough of rising bills, stagnant wages, and political excuses. Featuring powerful voices like Zarah Sultana and senior union leaders, it was built fast, under pressure, with one goal: light a fire. It did. Within days, the campaign had national coverage and grassroots momentum. Directed with Ronan Burtenshaw, this piece helped define the tone and urgency of a pivotal moment.

The Cost of Living / The Alternative

Client: The Labour Party

Two linked PPBs broadcast back-to-back on national TV, seen by over 16 million people.

A two-part Party Political Broadcast made for terrestrial TV at the height of the cost of living crisis. The Cost of Living showed the fallout of austerity, public services gutted, prices up, and a woman stabbed after council cuts left a streetlight broken. The Alternative followed directly after, offering a vision grounded in public investment and fairness. Broadcast as a linked pair in prime time, they reached over 16 million people. Made to move hearts first, and shift minds straight after.

Still Fighting

Client: Unite the Union

A film that brought thousands of pensioners back into the union, more than just a social media post.

This was made for Unite’s retired members, pensioners who’d drifted away but still had fight in them. It was built for dual use: shared widely online, but also screened in person to groups of 100, sparking real-world organising sessions. It didn’t just reconnect people emotionally, it rebuilt the network. Thousands rejoined the union as a direct result. It performed strongly on social too, proving that a film can work both as a viral asset and a practical tool for mobilisation.

Marking the Nakba

Client: Amnesty International

Filmed, scripted, and cut in four hours, 9 million views in a single day.

Amnesty needed a film for a London event marking the anniversary of the 1948 Nakba. Most would’ve taken a few days, we didn’t. Working with Jack Bond, who initiated the project, we filmed, scripted, edited, and delivered the final piece in just four hours. We opted for speed over perfection, to get the film done in half a day, with clarity, urgency, and respect. We did this strategically, with pre-planned routes and tight coordination. It held space for Palestinian voices and hit 9 million views in 24 hours. Proof that with the right prep, speed doesn’t mean compromise.

GABA Labs: A Clearer Kind of Buzz

Client: GABA Labs

We helped a science based ethical company define its narrative and helped them raise £21 million in investment.

GABA Labs are rethinking alcohol, creating a social drink that gives the buzz without the damage. Ethically grounded, scientifically backed, but struggling to explain it all clearly. We stepped in to consolidate the story: one film to bridge science, ethics, and vision. It clarified the mission, built investor confidence, and helped them secure £21 million. A case of narrative doing the heavy lifting.

Emily Sandé: Campaign Film

Client: The Labour Party

Shot in a day, powered by music, a campaign film with reach and heart.

Made in the heat of the 2019 election alongside Obama’s former filmmaker, this was a one-day shoot built around an Emily Sandé track. We had full creative freedom, no brief, just energy. The result was emotional, fast-paced, and deeply human. It captured the spirit of the campaign through the power of music. The views speak for themselves. Since then, we’ve made several more videos for Emily’s team.

NDP Canada: Motion Graphics Series

Client: New Democratic Party of Canada (NDP)

International campaign films using bold motion graphics to cut through the noise.

We worked with Canada’s NDP on a series of 3-4 films, each designed to communicate clearly across distance, difference, and platform. These weren’t talking heads, they used motion graphics, animated type, and sharp visuals to land big ideas fast. The goal was to showcase a progressive, internationalist politics, and prove that clarity travels. A chance to flex a different skillset and keep the politics front and centre.

Paul Nowak: Origin Film

Client: Trades Union Congress (TUC)

The launch film that introduced the new General Secretary, and the values he stands for.

When Paul Nowak became General Secretary of the TUC, he needed more than a press release, he needed a story. We filmed across Merseyside, tracing his roots and showing the places that shaped him. It wasn’t just about biography, it was about grounding who he is, and what he represents. That film helped define his leadership from day one. I’ve since made three walk-on films for him, and we’re still collaborating.

As he says: “Jeremy is really solid to work with, and his films really bring out my message lucidly and with solidarity.”

Jeremy Corbyn: Islington North Campaign

Client: Jeremy Corbyn

A pre-election campaign film for Corbyn, over a million views and counting.

In 2024, Corbyn ran as an independent in Islington North with the odds stacked against him. We made the campaign film just before polling day, it took off, gaining over a million views and galvanising support. We’ve worked with Jeremy since 2017, and still do. He trusts us to capture him without spin. We get what he stands for, and he gets what we do

As he put it: “Jeremy Clancy is my friend and he always manages to bring the message to life with heart and precision.”

Freedom From Torture:  Rwanda Bill Response

Client: Freedom From Torture

No autocue, no script, just urgency, clarity, and a call to act.

Made during the Johnson government’s push for the Rwanda deportation scheme, this video was built fast, and landed hard. We used a technique called chunking: the presenter was given bullet points, internalised them, then paraphrased in her own words. No autocue, no over-rehearsing. The result was direct, emotionally charged, and refreshingly real. It flew on social and was built around a concrete action. Proof that with the right structure, you don’t need polish, just purpose.

Up The Bin-Men: Street Reactions

Client:  Bantz and Bigot TV

Funny, raw, and real, street interviews that brought the public into the bin strike fight.

Filmed on the streets of Birmingham during the bin workers’ strike, this piece let the public speak. No filters, no polish, just straight-up reactions to a working-class fight that mattered. Built with Bantz and Bigot TV, it blended humour with truth, keeping it quirky but rooted. Social media focused and widely viewed, it cut through. We’ve made similar street-style videos together — Heat or Eat, 333,  always aiming to capture what people really think, not what they’re told to say.

 Mould — Projection Documentary

Client: New Economics Foundation (NEF)

A political film on black mould, projected onto the Houses of Parliament.

Over 2 million people in the UK live in homes plagued by black mould, a serious risk to health, ignored for too long. But this isn’t about personal responsibility. It’s political. Produced for NEF and the Homes for Us alliance, Mould follows one family’s experience and connects it to a rigged housing system that protects landlords over tenants. We turned policy into something visceral, then projected the film onto Parliament itself. Because when the system rots, it needs to be seen in the place that created it.

The Coal Beneath Our Feet, The Wind Above Our Heads — Documentary

Client: Self-initiated / Community Collaboration / Beth Winters (Member of Parliament)

 

Filmed over a year in the Welsh Valleys, a story of community, disillusionment, memory, and political awakening.

Set in a former mining village in South Wales, this film follows two young people who want out, alienated, disillusioned, convinced there’s nothing left. But as they uncover the story of their community’s radical past — from the scars of coal to the legacy of the Tower Colliery buyout, something shifts. Through real encounters with ex-miners, grassroots organisers, and a wind farm owned by the people, they begin to understand what agency looks like.

Shot over a year and shaped by the community itself, including a live screening where residents watched and responded to rough cuts, the film became more than a portrait. It became a mirror. And then a conversation. A meditation on ownership, memory, and the quiet reawakening of collective power
