Filming
Youth Unity · Film & Documentary
Films that put community on screen.
We make short documentary‑style films and street‑interview pieces that bring local issues to life — often commissioned by councils and local authorities — and we train young people to tell their own stories through film.
What we do
Real issues, told by the people living them.
From street interviews to short documentaries, we work with councils, schools and community organisations to capture honest local voices and turn them into films that inform, engage and create change — and we hand young people the skills to make films of their own.
Commissioned films & documentaries
Short, documentary‑style films for local authorities and partners, shining a light on the issues that matter to communities.
Street interviews & community voice
Out on the streets capturing real, unscripted views — the perspectives that don't always make it into official reports.
Film workshops for young people
Hands‑on training in interviewing, filming, editing and storytelling — building confidence and real creative skills.

Made with Paul McKenzie.
Many of our films are produced in collaboration with Paul McKenzie, bringing storytelling experience and a strong connection to community to every project.
Film workshops
Putting the camera in their hands.
We run film‑making workshops that teach young people to plan, shoot, interview and edit their own films — a powerful way to build confidence, creativity and a real sense of voice, while learning skills that travel well beyond the session.
- Interviewing and finding the story
- Camera, framing and sound
