Tell us your story

Our YouTube channel is about the relationships that shape our lives, the people we love, lose, reconnect with, struggle to understand, and sometimes find our way back to.

We’re always looking to film people with stories rooted in human relationships. They might involve family, friendship, romance, identity, migration, adoption, faith, disability, incarceration, cultural diversity, reconnection after time apart, caregiving, belonging, rebuilding trust, or any other relationship that has changed the course of your life.

You don't need to have an extraordinary story. Some of the most powerful films begin with ordinary people navigating something deeply human. We're looking for honesty, not perfection.

If there’s a relationship or chapter of life you feel ready to talk about, we’d love to hear from you.

How to get in touch

Please send us a few paragraphs about yourself, along with a photo and your location. There's no need to write anything polished or perfect, we're more interested in what's true than what's tidy. Please submit via the form below.

All enquiries are treated sensitively and there's no obligation to take part simply because you've contacted us. We really look forward to hearing from you.

A few things people often ask

Do I need media experience?

Not at all, most contributors have never been filmed before.

Will I be paid?

Please note that participation is voluntary and we do not currently offer contributor fees.

Can I remain anonymous?

In some circumstances yes, please let us know your concerns and we'll discuss the options. Also, many of our contributors are not named, even though their face appears.

What happens after I submit my story?

We'll review your submission and get in touch if we think it could be a good fit for the channel.

How long does the filming take?

Every project is different, but most films involve around 6–8 hours of filming. Some stories need less, some need more. We'll agree on an approach together before filming begins.

Do you interview us?

Yes, but naturally. We have relaxed conversations rather than formal interviews. There are no scripts, no rehearsed answers, and no pressure to say anything a certain way.

What if my story involves other people?

90% of the stories do as they are about human relationships, so that interaction is usually the key to the films. Nobody is filmed with written consent signed off.

Will I have control over what's shared?

We take real care with the stories entrusted to us. We do not give creative control over the final film but we'll always be honest with you about the process, and you'll know what you're agreeing to before anything is filmed.

What if I'm not sure if my story is 'right' for this?

We're drawn to the everyday as much as the extraordinary, it's all about the relationships that have shaped us, however ordinary they might feel from the inside.

Can I share the film once it's out?

Yes please! We will share a link with you prior to it going live.

How big is your team?

Usually one person, occasionally two depending on the project.

Where are you based and do you travel?

Based in London UK, travel all over the UK and beyond!
