Reel Film is an award-winning video production agency based in Yorkshire, connecting people through film. We have over 50 years of experience working in film and video content, crafting powerful mini-documentaries for brands, charities and the public sector.
From the initial storyboarding stage through to post-production and beyond, we’ll guide you through every step to ensure you love your finished mini-doc. We’ll help you share your brand’s message with your audience in a powerful, thought-provoking and engaging long-form medium.
Our video specialists have worked with clients across a wide variety of sectors. We’ve produced emotive motion graphics projects for charities to raise awareness for important causes, and we’ve told powerful stories through video to promote brands and their products. Whatever your niche, we’re looking forward to working together.
Mini documentaries are a highly effective and engaging medium to promote an important message, story or cause. No wonder there are entire award categories just for mini-docs!
For brands, mini documentaries offer a deeper and more comprehensive storyline than a typical advert or commercial, establishing an emotional connection with your audience to create brand awareness and loyalty. They let you be as adventurous and creative as your mind can conceive!
Short films and mini documentaries also excel at drawing attention to important global issues. Charities and public sector organisations often create mini-docs to raise awareness about their work and demonstrate the significance of fundraising and monetary support for those in need.
Due to their length, mini documentaries often mix different filming techniques, such as interviews, case studies, drone videography, and more. We’ll work closely with you to choose the perfect shots and techniques to make your short film stand out!
Top tip: we can also segment your mini-doc into smaller bitesize chunks, so it can be repurposed across social, events and digital marketing to bring added value.
Take a look at some of the mini-documentaries we've filmed and produced for our clients.
Our mini-documentary for Severfield took us across bustling London to document the story and logistics of moving steel across the city for the construction of Fulham Football Club’s Riverside Stadium. The film highlighted the people involved in the process, intertwined with footage of the construction and scenic shots of the finished stadium.
This was an incredible story to tell. In the pandemic, all our Olympic athletes were sent home – for swimmers – that was a disaster. Jacuzzi wanted us to tell the story of how their support and Swim Spa products helped athletes such as Adam Peaty and Anna Hopkin to GOLD medals at the Tokyo Olympics. They wanted hard-hitting narrative-led content that would tell the full story in an emotive and inspiring way to build the brand through digital content.
