Telling stories that make a difference
Meaningful Films helps individuals and organisations to share their stories in a compassionate way.
CHARITY
The Blue House
Situated on a tranquil island in the centre of Frome, The Blue House is a historic almshouse offering comfortable, self-contained homes for older members of the community in need. With origins dating back to the 15th century and housed in a beautiful Grade I listed building from 1728, The Blue House blends heritage with a strong sense of community.
Comprising 17 charming flats surrounded by well-maintained riverside gardens, it offers independent living with the option to join communal activities in a shared common room.
The charity is overseen by a voluntary board of trustees and run day-to-day by a small, dedicated team. As a registered social landlord and charity, The Blue House continues its centuries-old mission of providing secure, affordable housing and companionship in a unique and historic setting.
To showcase the rich history and vibrant community of The Blue House, we've produced a short film that brings its story to life. We also created a fundraising video to help the Blue House raise £500,000 for essential repairs to the historic building.
SERIES
No Place Like Home
No Place Like Home is a series of stories about what home means to individuals from all walks of life.
We started the series with award-winning novelist Raynor Winn who became a best-selling author with her book The Salt Path after losing her family home and discovering her husband had a terminal illness. With nothing more to lose, the couple bought a tent and set off on an incredible journey along the 630 miles of the South West Coast Path.
CHARITY
Griffin Growers
Griffin Growers is a community farm and garden in Wiltshire.
Griffin was founded to co-create with the land and to provide the space for people to come together, to garden and be in community. Each week, volunteers come together to grow fresh fruit and vegetables.
Griffin is all about coming together, reforging our ties with the earth itself and putting faith in nature to grow and meet our needs.
RECRUITMENT VIDEOS
Bluebird Care
Bluebird Care work with customers and their families who require care in their own homes. They offer a unique service of personalised care options from check-in visits to full live-in support.
We created a series of recruitment videos for Bluebird, including a celebration of their work at an annual summer fun day and another to showcase the workshops they hold for their clients.
DOCUMENTARY
A Roof Over My Head
Behind the beautiful Georgian facade of Bath and the stunning surrounds of Bath and North East Somerset, homelessness – or the threat of it – is a problem facing a growing number of people.
There are over 4,000 on social housing waiting lists in the region and house prices are 14 times average earnings. The issues go far deeper than the number of street homeless.
This film shows the realities of homelessness and the life-changing work that is being done by local organisations to help.
DOCUMENTARY
What happens when you die?
There is one certainty in life and that is we are all going to die. We don’t know why or when but it is a fact that we need to face - and to talk about.
That’s why we decided to make a documentary called What Happens When You Die? You will hear accounts from people from all walks of life describing extraordinary and inspiring accounts that are both hopeful and comforting.
DOCUMENTARY
The School on the Hill
Culverhay School (later known as Bath Community Academy) closed its doors for the last time in July 2018. This film takes a nostalgic look at the many memories of pupils and staff past and present from a school at the heart of the community.
EDUCATION
Writhlington School
We were commisoned to create a series of short videos about life at a school in Radstock, Somerset, to showcase what it has to offer to prospectus students.
In these films, we shared the experiences of staff and pupils to show the various opportunities and possibilities available to students.
“This is the best experience we have had with any external marketing or production company.”
