Commissions
CommissionsWe work with broadcasters, production companies, organisations, and independent filmmakers to bring their projects to life. Our team combines directing, cinematography, producing, and research expertise to support films that are thoughtful, authentic, and engaging.
From concept development and pre-production planning to production, post-production, and delivery, we contribute creatively and practically at every stage. We work closely with contributors and communities to ensure each story is told with integrity, depth, and impact.
Whether producing short or feature-length documentaries, multimedia projects, or special commissions, we approach every project with the care, attention, and insight that have become central to our work..
Trump's Venezuelan Oil Grab: What Happens Now?
A documentary section produced for ABC News
When US President Donald Trump sent American troops to capture Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro and his wife it quickly became clear the country’s vast oil reserves were a major part of the strategy. Venezuela used to be one of the richest countries in the world, but decades of mismanagement damaged its oil industry and left most of the population living in poverty.
Now the US is effectively running the Venezuelan economy and is focussed on reviving the country’s oil industry. But who will be the beneficiaries?
On Foreign Correspondent London based Venezuelan journalist Sandra Gathmann has teamed up with a local Venezuelan crew to document how Venezuelans are reacting to these unprecedented events. Sandra also examines whether Donald Trump can deliver on his oil promise, who stands to gain and what role Venezuela will play at a time of global oil turmoil.

The Women Transforming Bolivia
A documentary produced for Redfish Media
In the past, Bolivia's indigenous women were subject to discrimination and banned from public spaces. But today these same women are at the forefront of a process of change in Bolivian society. Redfish met the women working to radically change Bolivia - from indigenous politicians to those fighting for justice for femicide victims, to the queer activists.

Sodom and Gomorrah: Exporting Homophobia to Africa
A documentary produced for Redfish Media
Uganda, a country now infamous for its proposed "kill the gays" bill is at the centre of an epidemic of violence and murder against LGBTQ+ people, and neighbouring Kenya where many Ugandans have fled, isn’t any better. But the first anti-homosexuality laws in East Africa were written by the British and today, North American evangelicals are reinforcing them by spreading their extreme anti-homosexuality agenda through the continent.
