The rut. The deer in Ashton court are gettinga bit frisky at the moment. This shot was taken last year at a similar time, I love how this large stag is looking over his harem of females, daring another challenger to take him on.

We don't live in raw reality - in fact there may be no such thing.
We live in stories.

Ever notice how two people can experience the same event completely differently? That's the power of the narratives we create.

I've been exploring this space between perception and reality in a new writing project. Not about productivity hacks or self-improvement – but about seeing the world without the noise.

Maybe our storytelling instinct isn't a limitation. Maybe it's what makes us beautifully human.

Read more in The Story Animal – our quiet corner for reflections on storytelling, attention, and how we make sense of our lives.

What story are you living in right now? I'd love to hear.

🧠 Ever wondered what happens when your dog has a neurological problem? We just filmed inside Small Animal Referral Hospital Langford Vets University of Bristol incredible Neurology department where they're changing the game for our four-legged friends.

Their team tackles everything from epilepsy to paralysis, with some cases requiring mind-blowing precision (think 3D-printed surgical guides!).

What impressed us most? Every patient gets reviewed by at least 3-4 specialists. That's peace of mind when your pet needs it most.

Check out our short film to see their groundbreaking work in action!

A big July job just moved, and we’ve got a few open filming days we’d rather fill than let sit.
So we’re offering story-led shoots for £1,000 - usually double that.
If you’re a charity, ethical brand, or Bristol/South West business who could use a short film (or just want to make the most of your comms budget), drop us a message.

Spots are limited, and this kind of pricing’s rare - let’s make something good.
