Start here, freeWe record one person in the region over Zoom and our editors turn it into 3 finished, subtitled videos.
Most requestedA vetted local videographer films your program, clinic or convention, with a translator when the interviews call for one.
For conventionsMulti-day conventions and community days filmed alongside your own crews, cut for every channel.
Where we work
We have produced patient and staff stories at a partner hospital in Cambodia with local videographers and a Khmer translator, filmed the 2026 Lions International Convention in Hong Kong, filmed a two-district production in Ho Chi Minh City, and covered a four-hour community day on Australia's Central Coast with 19 interviews. We have also filmed in Seoul for the Human Rights Foundation, and in Melbourne and Jakarta for Lions Clubs International. Our network spans the region, so if your programs run anywhere below, we can staff a shoot there.
Headquartered in Manila, Jakarta, Bangkok, Delhi, Singapore, Hong Kong or Sydney? We work with organizations based in Asia-Pacific the same way: a local crew we have vetted, our producer on the brief, our editors on the cut, and distribution through the Are You Happy? audience when the story fits. Time zones are our normal.
Beyond video
One production day becomes a library: the hero film for the gala, the 45-second cut for the appeal email, twelve verticals for the feed, and the quiet two-minute piece your program officer sends to the funder.
Field notes
Overnight for you, business hours for the crew. Here is what we have actually filmed across the region, and how each day was run.
Two days in December 2025 at a partner surgical centre for Watsi, with two local videographers and a Khmer translator on set. Patients, families and clinicians, including the all-women ENT team. At the client's instruction the facility is never named on screen or in copy. Naming the country and the action is enough, and that constraint is now part of how we brief every cut.
April 2026 across two districts in one production, with a Saigon-based videographer and an on-the-ground coordinator moving the crew between a shared workspace and an R&D lab. Worth saying plainly: on that job the client edited in-house, and the footage taught us to be firmer about lavalier audio and b-roll coverage in the brief. We changed the brief.
March 2026 at White Memorial Park, The Entrance: a four-hour community day with more than a hundred volunteers and around a thousand members of the public. An Australian videographer captured nineteen interviews across five clubs plus drone, which became a thirteen-piece batch and a three-part series. The client also asked us to drop the stock national music clichés, and they were right. Our creator network has also filmed Lions community programs in Melbourne.
The 2026 Lions International Convention, filmed across two days in July alongside the organization's own video team, and the source of 32 Lions of the World stories. We first filmed Hong Kong Lions in October 2025, at a club event and a school vision screening. The rule we now apply to every convention: lanyards off, dated signage out of frame, so the clips still work a year later.
For the Human Rights Foundation's Art in Protest program we filmed in Seoul, one of five cities in a series on artists and activists who challenge authoritarian regimes, alongside its Flash Drives for Freedom effort that sends outside information into North Korea.
January 2025 for Lions Clubs International: member interviews and b-roll with clubs in Jakarta, including a lion dance, filmed vertical on phones by our creator network.
We have a videographer network reaching India, Nepal, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Malaysia, Japan, Papua New Guinea and New Zealand. We have also edited client-supplied footage from Thai refugee camps into a finished series. If you have a drive of field footage and no production budget, that is a real option.
