Where we work
This year we have filmed Lions clubs in Saltash and Truro, Cornwall, in a single day; the Helen Keller Run in Paris with a local videographer and photographer; a birdhouse build in Skopje's City Park with a Skopje studio; a peacebuilding story in Kërçova, North Macedonia; three days across Türkiye from Istanbul to the Syrian border for Baitulmaal; and a Brussels policy conference for Search for Common Ground. Our post-production team is based in Kosovo, so the Balkans are home turf.
Headquartered in London, Paris, Brussels, Berlin, Amsterdam, Pristina or Skopje? We work with organizations based in Europe and the UK 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.
Beyond video
One production day becomes a library: the hero film for the gala, the 45-second cut for the appeal email, a dozen verticals for the feed, a LinkedIn edit for corporate partners, and the two-minute piece your programme officer sends to the funder.
Field notes
Local crews, our producers, and a post team in the Balkans, so edits land inside your working day rather than the following morning.
Saltash Tamar and Truro Lions clubs, filmed in a single day in the club store and the yard: a club revived in 2025 with 27 members, eight of them under 30, which was the whole reason the story was worth filming. Ten finished pieces in the approved vertical split-screen format, interview on top, b-roll beneath, delivered as one batch.
The Helen Keller Foundation charity run in the 9th arrondissement, two half-days at the end of May 2026, with a Paris videographer and photographer. About three thousand runners across the 10k, 5k and kids' races. The schedule was rebuilt around the Champions League final that Saturday evening, because a local crew knew the park would empty at five o'clock and an imported one would not have. Fifteen interviews, b-roll and edited photography.
Skopje City Park in June 2026 with a Skopje studio: a two-hour build day, fifteen birdhouses, roughly thirty volunteers, and interviews in Macedonian, Albanian, Turkish and English depending on what each person preferred. Guardian-signed releases for minors, taken digitally on a phone on the day, and no alcohol in frame despite the open bar afterwards. Eight finished videos. Separately, a peacebuilding case study filmed in Kërçova in March 2026 for Search for Common Ground, delivered vertical and 16:9 with French audio and English-subtitled versions.
Search for Common Ground's Brussels policy conference on 15 September 2026: the EU quarter outside the Berlaymont, the conference floor and interviews with speakers.
February 2026 for Baitulmaal, three days on two cameras plus stills: a sewing workshop and voucher distribution in Istanbul, a Quran ceremony in Şanlıurfa, then food distribution, home visits and an orphanage in Akçakale and Nizip near the Syrian border. Lions Clubs International stories have also been filmed in Türkiye by our creator network.
For the Happy People Foundation's first campaign we filmed at a special-needs school in Albania, and the campaign paid for the school's accessible bus.
Around thirty people work across production and post between Connecticut and Kosovo. For a UK or EU charity that means review calls in your afternoon and revisions by your next morning, rather than the transatlantic day of silence that makes agencies feel slow. In Kosovo itself we have filmed youth development and community stories for Lions Clubs International.
Our crew network reaches Ireland, the Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland, Austria, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Poland, Czechia, Romania, Greece and the Nordics. For The Climate Reality Project our creators covered its event in Rome. Filming in Germany taught us two practical things worth passing on: drone permission is rarely quick, and street-interview formats work badly because people decline on camera, so we plan around both.
Public proof
Lions Clubs International: 15 interviews at the Helen Keller Run in Paris, eight videos from a Skopje build day and a ten-piece batch from Cornwall.
