Who Do We Produce Documentaries For?

Short Form Documentaries And Case Studies

Short documentaries are great ways to communicate case studies, character portraits or important moments. A powerful, three minute film can move and inspire. It can open the audience’s eyes to a human interest story, relate the mission of your charity campaign, or uncover the history of an artwork. Chocolate Films is one of the most successful short documentary production companies in the UK. Our documentary short film projects have been watched by over 250,000 people in cinemas since 2015, have had viral success online and can be seen as part of displays in museums across the country.

Long-form Documentary And Long-term Production

Our long-form documentaries have told the stories of football teams, lorry drivers, hair salons, new teachers and youth workers dealing with street violence. For each of these projects we have spent many months, and often years, capturing their lives and stories. We are currently half-way through a ten year documentary about a major construction project. Our company structure, with a full-time crew of dedicated filmmakers, is ideal for long-term documentary projects where we drop in and out of a story. Long-form documentaries produced by Chocolate Films have been screened at festivals and been released in cinemas.

A Flexible Team With International Reach

Chocolate Films produces great looking documentary content in every continent – filming doctors in Japan, David Hockney by his pool in Los Angeles and a karate school in Syria. Our commitment to being net zero video production company means that we balance the need for content production. We produce and direct documentary content with our international partners, with satellite offices within the EU and US and a network of partner production companies across the world. Working this way reduces our carbon footprint and our client’s costs while maintaining quality.

Chocolate Films Is A Carbon Neutral Production Company

At Chocolate Films we work hard to be a sustainable supplier. Over recent years we have reduced our carbon footprint by bringing in policies about travel, waste and power. And we offset the carbon that we’re not currently able to reduce, by contributing to planting trees in a sustainable forestry scheme. We also offer discounts on video production to organisations that are actively promoting sustainability.

A very professional team with flexibility and great understanding of the craft. The pre-production was straight forward but the dedication from the team on the day to capture lots of high quality footage of the event was admirable.The final outcomes were well edited and the revisions process was painless and fast. I highly recommend Chocolate Films for event and interview videography.

Buttle UK worked with Chocolate Films to create an animated video to capture a co-produced report about estranged young people. We are absolutely amazed by the video they created for us! The team at Chocolate Films worked tirelessly to involve our young team, including an in-person workshop and an online one. It was lovely to see how they made it a fun learning experience during the workshops, while also working hard on the core purpose and outcome of the project. We really valued the expertise we received from the project manager, animators and voiceover experts. As they are a social enterprise, it’s clear that Chocolate Films have the kind of values we (a charity) really love. 它显示了在美丽的电影他们创造, and the way that they made it possible for us to work with them. We are so impressed and wholeheartedly recommend them without hesitation.

We’ve worked with Chocolate Films on two live stream events. Despite the challenges posed by hosting such events in a historic setting, the Chocolate Films team have been unfailingly efficient and effective in the delivery of both these live streams, which have helped us open up to audiences around the world.

We worked with Chocolate Films for producing five movies for a research project involving multiple partners across Europe. We have enjoyed their professionalism while filming the kick-off meeting, interviewing participants about their experience and role in the project. We were also delighted by the high visual quality of the clips they produced. We also greatly appreciated their responsiveness through along the four years of collaboration. In this respect, we are starting a new project with them on an animated movie!

Chocolate Films have been fantastic and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking to have a video produced. At all times the team were friendly, flexible, and professional. We’re thrilled with the final product. In particular, I’d like to shout out Ben who was our videographer. He was easy-going and worked respectfully with the people we support and our staff to capture some fantastic footage, making everyone feel comfortable. If we are in need of any videos in future, we’d be happy to work with Chocolate Films again.
