We champion your purpose.

How do you inspire others
in a sceptical and distracted world?

Give them a film to believe in.

Purpose Driven Film Advocacy

Belief is based on trust.

We build trust through the power of personal testimony crafted as a story.

The story is the structured channel for authenticity, emotional connection and relationship.

Through it we define your shared values, meaning and purpose.

It can give voice to your very reason to exist.

Every aspect of WHAT you do can be transformed by powerfully expressing WHY you do it.

And with clarity of purpose comes the trust and confidence that can-

* build loyalty with existing customers and engage new ones;

* galvanise support and promote awareness;

* aid recruitment, partnerships and collaboration;

* and ultimately, spread the love.

THE PRINTED HEART

“What a film! Condensing Andy’s career and journey into 5 minutes is no mean task and we were blown away by the result. We are truly grateful for Sasha’s devotion to this wonderful project that will help us to spread the word about our life saving work, and inspire other fundraising heroes.”

— Nicola Master, Director, THE GRAND APPEAL/BRISTOL CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL

ENGLISH NATIONAL OPERA

“Sasha, at Spark Films, is a brilliant story-teller with years of experience brought to bear on the films he has made with us.

He is quick to understand the client’s needs, and works with them to tell the simplest and most powerful story possible. He is mindful of the practical side of the production process to ensure maximum efficiency in all he does. He is also a lovely man to work with.”

— James de Zoete, Creative Director, RED BEE MEDIA

THE FOOD FOUNDATION

“This was a challenging project, demanding delivery to extremely tight deadlines and sensitive presentation of complex material. Sasha was brilliant to work with, leading confidently and reliably on the project and providing a polished and extremely powerful film over a very short time frame. It had a real impact with policy makers.“

— Anna Taylor, Executive Director, THE FOOD FOUNDATION

EXTRA ROOMS

“The short film did it. I have been amazed at the extra credibility the film has given us. Customers now come with complete faith.

We learned a lesson here, the lesson being that we should have done it a long time ago, so long as it was with a decent film company and we were lucky enough to hit that first time with Spark Films.”

— David Fowler, Managing Director, EXTRA ROOMS

The trailer for a project that began life as a ‘short’, made in collaboration with PASSION PICTURES and the U.S. non-profit, FALKORA.

“This film provides a blueprint for people who are sick and tired of the futility of civil discourse in combating the climate crisis. We hope it inspires people to embrace radical tactics and actions that bring about real change. Our very existence depends upon it.

— JOAQUIN PHOENIX and ROONEY MARA

THE NATIONAL PHYSICAL LABORATORY excerpt

“We wanted a film that captured what it was like to be an NPL employee to encourage the scientific stars of the future to join us. Now that they understand our mission, they can see the opportunity. We are delighted with the result.

Our CEO, Peter Thompson, said it made him feel proud to work here.”

— Sally Williams, Head of Resources, NATIONAL PHYSICAL LABORATORY.
