We spend time understanding your business, listen properly and capture what's really there. Then we shape it into a film that shows your work at its best, puts your product in its best light and tells your story in a way people feel.
The kind of film that gets watched to the end, shared and remembered, and that brings the right clients to your door.
A wild swim, a TV launch and a college advert. Different briefs, the same job: find what's worth noticing and make sure the right people see it.

Not sure which kind of film you need? Tell us what you're trying to do and we'll suggest the right one, honestly. Looking for a film made entirely with AI? That's over here.
Everything we make is priced to the project, never off a menu. We've shot national TV commercials and short films for the café down the road, with the same care and the same eye. Tell us what you'd like to spend and we'll show you what's possible.
Independent businesses, charities, schools and events.
Growing businesses, organisations and launches.
TV, national campaigns and agency work.
A fixed price, agreed before we start. After a short call we send a written quote, shown with and without VAT, and that's what you pay. We're VAT registered, number GB 486 9654 20.
You'll always know what's happening next, and you'll never have to manage us.
Tell us what the film needs to do and who it's for. No cost, no obligation.
Within three working days you get a short written plan: the story, who we'll film, where, and exactly what it costs.
Usually one day on location. After 40 years on professional sets, Gerry keeps things relaxed and on time, so even camera-shy people come across as themselves.
You see a first cut, give feedback twice, then get finished files for everywhere you need them. Usually three to four weeks from call to delivery, or as little as a week for simpler films.
We're Gerry Vasbenter and Andy Parker, a small film studio in Cirencester, in the Cotswolds. Gerry films; Andy edits, grades and finishes.
Every project gets both of us, from the first call to the final file. No account managers, no rotating crew, no handing your story to someone who wasn't there. Just a feature-film level of craft, without a feature-film crew to pay for.
Meet us on a call
Cinematographer and camera operator
More than 40 years on film and TV sets, including camera work on The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones. Gerry brings a feature film eye and a calm, unhurried set, which matters most when the people in front of the lens aren't actors.
Editor, colourist and finisher
Turns hours of footage into the few minutes that matter: edit, colour, sound and, where it genuinely helps, AI tools.
Our films are filmed with real people. Now and then, AI tools help us do something a camera can't.
Prefer a film with no AI at all?
Say so on the form and we'll commit to a fully AI-free production in writing.
Branding, web, marketing or PR agency without in-house video? We've made TV commercials for JCB and SimpliSafe alongside Koala, and we're happy to film and finish under your name or ours, from real-people films to fully AI-made pieces.
If yours isn't here, ask it on a call. It's free and takes twenty minutes.
It depends on what you need. Every project is priced individually: a local film with a day of filming costs far less than a TV commercial with a full crew. After a short call we send a fixed quote, shown with and without VAT, and that's what you pay.
Probably not. There are two of us, with no big crew or office to pay for, so you get the experience without the overheads. We scale the crew and kit to the project and your budget, and the price is fixed before we start.
It depends on the project. Most films take three to four weeks from first call to finished film, but simpler projects can be turned around in as little as a week. Filming is usually a single day. If you have a hard deadline, like a launch or an event, tell us early and we'll plan backwards from it.
Sometimes, and always openly. Our documentary and interview work is filmed with real people. We use AI tools only where they genuinely help, such as planning a shoot, showing something that can't be filmed, translating a finished film with the speaker's permission, or protecting someone's identity. If you'd prefer a completely AI-free production, we'll commit to that in writing. If you want a film made entirely with AI, see our AI films. Read our full approach to AI.
Very little. On the call we'll ask what the film is for and who should be in it. Before the shoot you'll get a simple plan and a schedule so your people know what to expect. On the day, we just need access and a quiet room for interviews.
We're based in Cirencester and film across the Cotswolds and Gloucestershire, including Cheltenham, Stroud, Swindon, Oxford and Bath. We travel further for the right project.
You can use the finished films wherever you like, for as long as you like. Music is licensed for the uses we agree at the start, so there's nothing to chase later.
A few details help us come back with something useful rather than a list of questions. You'll hear back from us within 48 hours.
