A month in the life of FILM PUNKS.
Paris. Barcelona. Manchester. London. Exeter. Malta. And next week? Glasgow.
It's been a rather brilliant few weeks at Film Punks. Cameras rolling, new stories being told, familiar faces, new partnerships and a few unexpected adventures along the way.
The variety is what makes this job so good. No two briefs are the same. No two shoots are the same. But the obsession with making great work? That never changes.
And we've been putting that obsession to good use.
We started in Paris, filming with Back Market as part of an ongoing series of customer stories for Signifyd.
Then it was on to Barcelona, this time with Mango.
There's something we love about this kind of filmmaking. Getting close to the people behind a business, finding the story worth telling and capturing it in a way that feels genuine. Thoughtful, beautifully shot content with real people at its heart.
Barcelona had a little surprise in store. A storm rolled in, flights were cancelled and our crew found themselves with an unexpected extra day in the city.
Naturally, they made the most of it. Fantastic food, a little more time exploring and some very happy crew members.
There are worse places to be stranded.
Back home. Straight back to it.
Manchester was next, working with our lovely new client Premier Events on a huge event for Greene King.
A big production, a packed programme. Our crew was there to capture the scale, atmosphere and energy of the event, bringing together the moments that mattered into a film that tells the story of the day.
We love the pace of it. And we love working with people who care just as much about the details as we do.
London also saw us back working with Reebok, alongside our brilliant friends at Exposure.
We spent the day interviewing members of Reebok's senior leadership team for a new internal film, getting behind the brand and hearing directly from the people helping shape its future.
Our photography teams were busy capturing the A Team Group - Manufacturing Summit and an event for Cribl with our partners at Eventify
That's quite a mix. And we wouldn't have it any other way.
Whether it's a carefully crafted film or a live event unfolding in real time, the thinking is the same. Know the brief inside out. Get the details right. Bring the right people. Make every moment count.
We were also set for another production in Paris, but protests brought that particular plan to an unexpected halt.
You win some. You reschedule some.
Two new school films. Two very different stories.
We've also been working with Exeter School and Altrincham Preparatory School, creating two new films that capture what makes each school special.
Our crews have been getting to know the people, places and personalities behind both schools, finding those genuine, unscripted moments that bring a story to life.
It's the kind of filmmaking we love. Thoughtful, authentic and built around real people.
A little further afield.
And there's no sign of things slowing down.
This week, our team heads to Malta for three days filming Hedayah's RC26 international conference.
It's a major international event, bringing together government representatives, researchers, policymakers, practitioners and industry experts to share knowledge, challenge thinking and tackle some of the world's most complex issues.
And we're there to capture it.
We've already been working closely with Hedayah on the pre-event content, and now we're taking care of a full package of film and photography across the three-day conference.
From keynote sessions and panel discussions to interviews with international delegates, event photography and daily video updates, our team will be capturing the conversations, connections and moments that make an event of this scale so important.
We'll also be bringing everything together into a highlights film, giving Hedayah content that continues to work long after the conference has finished.
It's a substantial production with a packed schedule, multiple deliverables and plenty of moving parts. Exactly the sort of challenge our experienced, detail-obsessed team thrives on.
Meanwhile, we're working on a large and exciting project with TikTok, alongside our brilliant partners at A*Live.
New stories. New partnerships.
We've also just started an exciting new project with Pigment, which will take us to Glasgow to film with skincare brand BYOMA.
We'll be producing the next instalment of Pigment's Frames customer series, using an authentic documentary approach to bring another fascinating business story to life.
Different audiences. Different formats. Different challenges.
The same attention to every detail.
New look. Same Punks.
And amongst all the filming, travelling and creating, we've also launched our brand-new Film Punks website.
A fresh new home for our work, our people and everything we love doing.
It's sharper, cleaner and packed with the films, photography and creative content we're proud to put our name to.
Same Film Punks. Just looking rather lovely.
And a nice new showreel
The good stuff.
Looking back, it's a pretty good snapshot of what Film Punks is all about.
We love the craft. We love the people. We love finding the right way to tell a story, whether that's on a film set, in a classroom, at a conference or halfway across Europe.
And we're rather particular about how we do it.
Thoughtful planning. Experienced people. An almost unreasonable attention to detail. And the ability to move quickly, work efficiently and deliver work we're genuinely proud of.
Because making great content should be exciting and impactful. For us, for our crews and, most importantly, for the people who trust us to make it.
A huge thank you to our clients, partners and everyone who's been part of the last few weeks.
Now, on to the next one...
