Harry's Story
Re-engage
We crafted the journey of Peter, from loneliness to friendship. With a team brought in to complement our in-house rockstars, including talent from Aardman Productions and Paddington - we were set to make something truly special.
With all scripting, storyboarding, animation and production handled by Reel Film, we were delighted to support Re-engage with their biggest appeal of the year.
The film was shortlisted in the 2025 Charity Film Awards.
Simon on the Streets
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.
