Editorial Partnerships
You bring the world. Together, we find the stories in it.
We partner with organisations and brands to create documentary films and series that put people and human relationships at the heart of their storytelling.
Made to stand on their own editorial merits and earn an audience’s attention, while giving partners a credible place in conversations that matter.

Not a commission to say something nice. A collaboration to find something true.
We help organisations tell stories about the things they care about, without making the organisation the story.

A school
Instead of making "why we're such a wonderful school",
we'd make: five adults remember the teacher who changed the direction of their life.
A care organisation
Instead of making "why our care is so compassionate",
we'd make: a 92-year-old and her favourite carer explain what they've taught each other.

You Commission
Your story, told by us.
You commission a documentary film or series about the people and stories inside your world. We develop it with you, bringing the editorial judgement and craft that makes it feel human rather than corporate.
You Fund
Our stories, made possible by you.
You fund a Relatively Speaking film or series about something your organisation cares about. You’re credited as the partner who made it possible, and we keep editorial independence.
Not sure which is right? Start with the story you’d love to see exist. We’ll work out the rest together.

Your values don't need to be written into a script. They should be visible in the stories you choose to tell.

Celia at Relatively Speaking was fantastic to work with. She took the time to understand our team, the people we work with and what we wanted to achieve. She shaped the film collaboratively, created a relaxed atmosphere, and delivered a beautifully crafted film with a quick turnaround. The result felt truthful to the people involved and to who we are as an organisation. - Laura, One80

How it works
Find the territory
We start with what matters to both of us: the human relationships that shape our lives. Then we find where your world and ours meet.
Find the story
You bring knowledge, access and expertise. We look for the people and relationships that will make a genuinely compelling documentary film.
Make the film
With a trusted network of filmmakers and production contacts around the world, we can build the right crew wherever the story takes us.
Build something bigger
One film might be the beginning. We also develop documentary series, recurring formats and longer editorial partnerships.
Celia has an exceptional ability to find the human story at the heart of a project. She builds trust with contributors along the way drawing out authentic, engaging stories that resonate with audiences. She consistently delivers beautifully crafted films.
