What a production partner in London provides
A film crew in London, booked for your shoot
A London crew, booked for your job and sized to the brief: from a small interview crew to a multi-camera unit for a live stream. For Netflix, a small crew set up a dual-camera Interrotron in a London hotel room in one hour. For MusicGurus, we filmed music lessons with up to six cameras in venues including Abbey Road Studios.
A brief in your time zone
We also work from Los Angeles, so a producer in the US can brief us in a US time zone, and the shoot runs in London with a London crew. Our UK company, 8020 Films Ltd, is registered in England and Wales.
Your brief, on set, or live
Hand us the brief and we run the shoot, come to the set, or follow it live from wherever you are. Following live, you and your client see what the camera sees and talk to the crew as the shoot happens. In the UK this is called remote filming.
Two cities in one conversation
An Interrotron lets the person on camera look into the lens while talking to someone in another city. For Netflix, Aziz Ansari sat in a London hotel room and talked live with Chris Rock in New York, keeping eye contact with the camera.
Multi-camera and live
Multi-camera filming and live streams for town halls and events. For Lastminute.com we streamed a company-wide town hall from the British Library to employees worldwide, with multiple cameras, live Zoom participants and a Q&A with remote audio.
The footage, or the edit
After the shoot we hand over the footage, or take it through post-production: editing, motion design, music licensing. For Société Générale's interviews with rugby legends, filmed in London and Paris, post-production included 2D animation and motion design.

Yes. We book a London crew for your shoot and run it, sized to the brief: from the small crew that set up a dual-camera Interrotron for Netflix in one hour to the multi-camera live stream of Lastminute.com's town hall at the British Library.

Yes. Our crew films in London while you and your client watch the camera over a live feed, talk to the crew and approve takes as the shoot happens; in the UK this is called remote filming, and it works the same way in every city we film in. If you would rather not follow live, we run the shoot from your brief.
Yes. We also work from Los Angeles, so a producer in the US can brief us in a US time zone, and the shoot runs in London with a London crew.
Wherever your client needs to be. For Netflix the location was set for us: a hotel room, with a few hours' notice. We have also filmed at the British Library for Lastminute.com's town hall and at Abbey Road Studios for MusicGurus.

Not in the usual sense. A fixer arranges permits, locations and logistics for a crew that travels in with its own production. We provide the production on the ground: we book and run a London crew, and the shoot runs from your brief whether or not you are there. If a fixer is all you need, tell us the job and we will tell you whether we are the right company for it.
What you are filming, where in London, the dates and the number of shoot days, whether you will be on set, follow live, or leave it with us, and what you need back: the footage or an edit.
It depends on the crew, the number of shoot days and what happens after the shoot. Send us the brief, and we will come back with a plan and a quote.
