We partner with organisations to create documentary films and series with those that put people and human relationships at the heart of their storytelling.

The Story Lab is where we share the techniques, ideas and lessons we’ve learned from years of telling real human stories, helping filmmakers, photographers and curious storytellers create work with more intimacy, honesty and humanity.

Notes from the Field is a series of three practical guides drawn from years of directing and filming for broadcasters and streamers, designed to help you find, film and tell more compelling human stories.
The full series also includes our Equipment List and Shooting Script - the practical tools we use in the field.

Not ready for the full series? Start with a free sample from Notes from the Field.
Enter your details below and I’ll send you a free Notes from the Field notebook, with practical ideas for building trust and creating the conditions for more honest conversations.


Sometimes you don't need another course. You need another pair of eyes.
Story Lab Sessions are one-to-one sessions for filmmakers, photographers and storytellers who want practical, experienced help with the work in front of them - from developing an idea or strengthening a film to growing an audience or building a creative career or business.
Bring the messy version: the half-formed idea, the film that isn't quite working, the business question you keep circling.
We'll work out what's working, what isn't, and what to do next.
