We had the pleasure of working with Here Now Films on a recent project that required sourcing film crews in multiple locations on short notice. Despite the tight deadlines and logistical challenges, they exceeded our expectations in every way.Their ability to quickly assemble professional and talented crews was impressive, and their dedication to meeting our deadlines was commendable. The quality of the content produced was outstanding and played a crucial role in the success of our project.We highly recommend Here Now Films for any production needs. Their professionalism, efficiency, and commitment to excellence make them an invaluable partner.
Response from the owner: Hey Mo, Thanks so much for such a lovely review. You guys were a pleasure to work with, loved the project and can’t wait for the next! If you ever need video production in London just give us a shout. Best,Ed
Ed and Ted created a micro-documentary for us showcasing an innovative project in Cornwall, they were highly professional, fitted in seamlessly with a highly complex and fast paced day of activity and logistics, while building instant rapport with the multiple people involved in the day. In the end they produced a brilliant product for us delivering exactly to the brief, telling the story of the project with creative flare, style and depth. I'd highly recommenced them to anyone looking to create high quality, watchable content, with a company that has a journalistic and high level of attention to detail and adaptable approach to covering a story. Also great fun to work with in general from the creative planning stages through to filming.

Today, we’re proud to have delivered documentaries for some of London’s biggest names and to call ourselves one of London’s leading video production companies.

What types of documentaries do you make?

What documentary production experience do you have?

Over the last 4 years we’ve delivered documentaries for some of London’s best known brands. From the likes of BBC World to an audience of over 400 million people to creating a docu-series for a national AirBnB campaign, we like to think we now know a thing or two about story.

How much does a documentary cost to make?

As a rule of thumb, a short form documentary (2-10 mins) will cost around £5,000-£16,000, a medium length documentary (10-30 mins) will cost around £12,000-£25,000, a longer documentary (>30min) will cost anywhere North of £20,000.

How long does it take to make a documentary video?

Documentaries don’t need to take a long time! Simple stories can be developed, filmed and edited within 3-4 weeks! Or even faster in special circumstances. However, most documentaries are large undertakings and can take months to produce, sometimes even a year or so for larger productions.

What equipment do you use?

Here Now Films shoots on Netflix approved, full frame, cinema cameras. We also own a studio filled with lights and sound recording equipment. We own our own equipment in-house that means there are no costly extras further down the line. This is especially important for longer projects like documentaries.

What insurance do you need for documentary filmmaking?

Documentary filmmaking has taken us from mountain tops to city blocks! Everywhere we’ve gone we’ve always needed the highest levels of insurance possible to make sure both the crew and public are covered to the maximum they possibly can be.
