The Studio is where we bring our research projects to life and create advocacy films for organisations working on social and systemic change. Working collaboratively with the Insight and Strategy team we use filmmaking to immerse our partners in people’s lives, through impact documentaries and insight films. Working independently we find ways to tell stories of hope that inspire change, from animated explainers, to promos and advocacy films.
