Authentic storytelling that moves and inspires.
We create films that move people and inspire change.

Our Film Production Work
Move audiences from awareness to action
We take an audience-first approach, using emotive imagery, music, animation and exceptional contributors to tell stories that persuade, inform and inspire.
We begin every project by helping you uncover the story that needs to be told. Through collaborative planning, we define your goals, identify the audience and shape a narrative that resonates both emotionally and strategically.
Our full production service includes planning, scripting, location filming, editing, animation and post-production. With a central production team managing logistics and client liaison, and a global network of trusted filmmakers handling the shoots, we deliver seamless projects wherever your story is based.
From polished promotional films to raw, intimate documentaries, we tailor every production to your message and audience. We create content in multiple formats and aspect ratios, delivering final assets optimised for websites, social platforms and live events.
Need subtitles, multilingual versions or community representation in front of and behind the camera? We’ve done it all, and we do it with care.
Our strengths lie in powerful storytelling, cultural authenticity and professional delivery. Thanks to our flexible, network model, we can scale teams and budgets to suit projects of any size.
Stories that change perspective

MakerChange Studio's collaborative approach, especially their work with localised teams on the ground, brought an unmatched depth of understanding and authenticity to our ongoing projects. By partnering with professionals who truly understood the subject matter and local context, they delivered consistent, high-quality film content that resonated deeply with our diverse audiences. The final deliverables exceeded our expectations, driving significant engagement and earning praise from key stakeholders. They are a trusted partner for complex, multi-location projects and I highly recommend them.
Ross Burley
Co-Founder, Centre for Information Resilience
As a UK-based global charity, working with MakerChange Studio offered us a best-of-both-worlds solution when it came to telling local stories that illustrate some of the global safety challenges we work on. MC gave us the assurance and accessibility of an efficient and personable project management team based close to home, combined with a locally-led, non-extractive approach to the production itself. This made Freetown Floodfighters – a film telling the story of women on the front lines of flood resilience efforts in Sierra Leone’s capital – a far more authentic output as a result, and one that has been widely commended by our stakeholders, internally and externally. It represented exceptional value for money, compared with many other creative providers.

They are highly collaborative, and work with the utmost integrity – functioning more as in-house creative partners than a traditional advertising agency.
Hannah Dillon
Former Director, Zero Carbon Campaign and Iris Project
Having partnered with MakerChange Studio over the past three years, I can confidently say there is nothing they cannot do. No challenge, location, or situation is too difficult for them. They have an incredible capacity to create diverse, authentic, and visually stunning films, always prioritising collaboration with local filmmakers to ensure their work captures the true essence of each project. The projects we support consistently speak highly of their experience working with MakerChange Studio, praising the meaningful relationships formed with local filmmakers. MakerChange Studio is collaborative, are excellent communicators and an absolute pleasure to work with.
Millie Edwards
Director, Iris Project
I worked with MakerChange Studio on an 8-part, global interview series, highlighting the career of former Lloyd’s Register Foundation-funded graduates to the IMO’s International Maritime Law Institute (IMLI). The films celebrate the extraordinary impact these individuals have made on oceans safety in their home nations, and explore the unique challenges faced by those who work at sea and coastal communities in emerging maritime economies. Despite the complex brief, the team navigated the logistical difficulties with ease. From concept development through to delivery they were an absolute pleasure to work with, bringing a level of project management, technical expertise and strategic insight that I have rarely seen in other creative agencies. Their approach to storytelling perfectly aligns with our strategy as a charity, and I'm elated with the results.
