your film to do?
There’s a person behind every project and a reason behind every commission. We start with both.

Good work. Real people.
Stories we’ve
helped tell.
Three different organisations.
Three ways to make the work feel human.
Nest - Helping the Homeless
A person.
Not a statistic.
A personal account of homelessness and rebuilding a life, told in Colin’s own words. A film that gives space to the person behind the issue.

A day to connect.
A visit to Batley Hall Riding Centre shows the value of shared experiences for families living with ADHD. Activity, conversation and voices from the day make the work tangible.
Community storytellingThe Health Shift / EJW Health CIC
More than movement.
Move for Life combines a participant’s experience with the people delivering the programme and footage of sessions. A short, direct introduction to the people and purpose.
Programme & impact storytellingClear scope. Agreed price.

Let’s make something
from the ground up.
From a single interview to a story across several locations, filmed commissions are shaped around your people, purpose and practical needs.
- What shapes the price?
- Planning, filming time, locations, film length, editing complexity and the versions you need.
- What about travel?
- We work across the UK from Halifax. Return travel, travel time and any overnight stay are agreed and quoted in advance.
- What do you receive?
- The final films and caption files listed in your quote, with the agreed usage and revision allowance. Raw footage is a separate option.
The £295 entry price is for the limited editing scope above. Planner figures for other work are indicative prototype budget guides, not quotations. There is no promise of donations, funding or campaign results.

Plan around your people. Film with care or work with your existing material, then shape a clear first edit.

Creative experience.
Charity understanding.
The Charity Film Co. is led by Rupert Cooke, a creative director and filmmaker with more than 30 years in the creative industry.
Rupert’s work spans charity, community and NHS communications. As a trustee of Nest - Helping the Homeless, he also understands the care, practical pressures and responsibility involved in telling people’s stories.
The Charity Film Co. is an AiSight Global Ltd offer, based in Halifax and available for commissions throughout the UK.
An AiSight Global Ltd offer
People first, always.
We agree permissions, safeguarding arrangements and any access needs before filming. Participation should feel comfortable, and nobody should feel pressured to share their story.
Before you ask
A few useful
answers.
Can you work with phone footage?
Yes, if the picture and sound are usable and you have permission to use it. Send a description of what you have first. The £295 offer needs a preselected set of clips and approved words; a large unsorted library or poor audio may need more work.
Will a film help us win a grant?
A film can help a funder understand your work when video is accepted, but it cannot guarantee an award. Check the application rules first. We’ll focus on the purpose, people and evidence, while your written application answers the funder’s criteria.
Are captions and different formats included?
Simple English captions and one main format are included in the small edit and planner guides. Extra versions, translation, BSL and audio description need to be agreed and priced. Tell us who needs to access the film so we can plan the right approach.
Do you travel outside Yorkshire?
Yes. We can travel throughout the UK, including an overnight stay when needed. Mileage, travel time, accommodation and other necessary costs are agreed before booking. The planner keeps production and travel separate.
What happens with permissions and sensitive stories?
We agree who will take part, what the film will be used for and how permissions and safeguarding will be managed before filming. Let us know about additional support needs early. Please do not include confidential participant details in an initial enquiry.
How do payment and delivery work?
Your written quote sets out the scope, total cost, booking payment, schedule, revisions and final delivery. Production dates are confirmed through that process. If you have a grant or event deadline, tell us at the start so we can check availability.
