More than just another production company
Nowadays is a company inspired by years of working alongside charities.
That’s why we’re determined to create work that matters, why our team is populated with individuals who want to make the world a better place, why we think beyond production.
It’s an easy thing to say, but we have to be accountable, we need to ensure the sentiment is reflected in how we’re run as a business.
INITIATIVES
Nowadays Originals
We commission and produce our own content - Nowadays Originals - providing kit, time, budget and support to our team, when they’ve got a film they want to get off the ground.
As well as making some beautiful films, we’ve been able to tell important stories - about loneliness in old age, self-esteem, and waiting lists for trans people.
Better still, once produced, we’ve been able to gift these films as marketing assets to relevant charities, like Men’s Shed Association UK and Gendered Intelligence.
Production Sensitivity
We’re trusted to work with real people all the time, often dealing with delicate subject matter and challenging circumstances.
That’s why we prioritise emotionally intelligent filmmaking above all.
It’s why our approach is always sensitively considered - from the heartfelt creative we write to crew we hire and the edits we assemble.
Adaptable Creative
We don’t believe in one true creative approach to rule them all. Every client has different needs, every project a different list of objectives and restraints, so we shape our process and level of creative input accordingly.
That’s why we’re just as comfortable collaborating with the most established of creative agencies as working directly with brands making their first foray into video marketing.
Wherever your project is at, we’re ready to contribute ideas: from helping you write your initial brief, to scripting, storyboarding and developing integrated campaign concepts.
Ingrained Expertise
Filmmaking is at the heart of everything we do.
Our team share decades of production experience - directors who have worked across a broad range of subjects, editors who can cut quickly and colour beautifully, and producers who know precisely what corners you can and can’t afford to cut.
And, even better, we know just the right top-class freelance talent, who’ll happily lend their own hard-earned expertise to further elevate your project.
