Reel Film project wins national awards

Charity Film Awards 2025 3

2025 Charity Film Awards

We're so happy to share the news that one of our lovely clients in the charity sector has had a piece of work recognised at the 2025 Smiley Charity Film Awards.

The Charity Film Awards is the world's biggest campaign to promote cause-based films. Since its creation, more than 2,500 causes have benefited – gaining exposure, donations and volunteers. The awards, powered by Smiley Movement, are recognised by both BFI and IMDb.

Congratulations Simon on the Streets for both having work shortlisted and then winning the Silver award in their category!

We thought animation would be the order of the day, there are sensitivity issues around putting people on camera, the charity has supported, so we came up with a creative approach to develop a hard-hitting and narrative-driven 2D motion graphics animation.

We wanted to tell the story of Amy through characters but give a real insight into her journey and the challenges she still faces today.

The animation was shortlisted at the 2025 Charity Film Awards and won the Silver award overall.

"The whole team wants to say a massive thank you to everyone at Reel Film for the work they did, the fact that we are now finalists in the Charity Film Awards is credit to the skill and expertise of the Reel Film team who managed to capture the importance of the work we do and shine a light on the issues of homelessness"
