About us

Chocolate Films is a full-service production company with extensive experience in producing beautiful, inspiring and compelling video content. We provide our clients with all forms of moving image content, including, but not limited to high-spec promos, case study films, long-term observational documentaries, how-to films, animated explainers, video installations and event videography. We retain a large full-time crew of talented filmmakers, project managers and animators who ensure that your film is delivered on time and on budget.

Our crew are creative and versatile; they are just as happy working as part of a large crew, as they are self-shooting documentaries. They regularly shoot internationally. Our crews have recently shot in the US, the UAE, Singapore, China and across Europe. In 2018 we have already shot in Holland and Dubai. We also have a working partnership with crews in New York and San Francisco.

Chocolate Films is a social enterprise, using profits to support a wide creative digital learning programme that encourages young people to learn video and animation skills. We work with between 2,500 to 3,000 young people every year, on projects at arts organisations, schools, colleges, PRUs and Councils in order to produce films with a youth audience in mind. Our team are all experienced at working in educational environments, have undergone safeguarding training, have extended DBS checks and are first aiders.

WE PRODUCE CONTENT FOR FOUR PRINCIPAL SECTORS:

EDUCATION SECTOR

In the education sector we create online content for education publishers such Futurelearn and McGraw Hill Education. In higher and further education, we produce content for UCL, University of Greenwich, Newman University, Birkbeck, Morley College, Kingston University and many more institutions. This work comprises long-form documentary, promo films, lecture films, online training and more. Our work in education also extends to education policy. In 2016 we produced a film Sir John Cass Foundation, which looks at 10 years of their influential lecture. The film features some of those speakers who have delivered the lecture over the last decade, including Ed Balls and Sir Anthony Seldon. We regularly produce learning and information films for clients as varied as The National Autistic Society, Tate, NHS Southwark, Jewish Museum.

Our crews are highly experienced at working in educational environments and understand how to work within health and safety requirements of a very busy space; for this purpose we use specialised camera and lighting, as needed.

We produce content for Tate, ArtFund National Gallery, National Portrait Gallery, The Royal Collection, The Wallace Collection, Museum of London, Geffrye Museum, The Charles Dickens Museum, The National Maritime Museum, and many more.
