Good work deserves to be understood

We start with the result you need, identify where communication is getting in the way, then develop the message, proof, stories and films needed to close that gap.

Don’t take our word for it. Take theirs.

You are easy to work with, professional, on point, creative, and you care about the outcome.

I have already started telling people how amazing it was working with you because of how amazing the final product was, but also how professional you are. It was a 10 out of 10 experience and I’d only recommend you to other causes that I think are equally as deserving.

Warda Mohamed, CEO/Founder of Lasting Support

You really went into depth, not just around the problem, but who I am, what the clinic represented, what are the ethos, what are the pillars.

What you were able to come back to me with felt so aligned to what I did, what I think and what I was trying to say. The final video represented what we were trying to achieve and presented me in the way I wanted to come across: personable and knowledgeable, but somebody who would be able to help. What I’m coming away from is a whole sense of strategy, and somebody who I now have trust and faith in can help me achieve these things.

Where is communication holding you back?

Our approach

Strategy before production

Sometimes the answer is a film. Sometimes it is clearer messaging, stronger proof, customer stories, a campaign or a change in the customer journey. The format comes after understanding the problem.

A powerful use of direct voices to highlight an important issue. Simple, clear, impactful and well-structured. A frank, honest and authentic expression of hidden hardship. I came away informed and educated. Really strong.

I would definitely recommend Piotr as a great colleague, talented filmmaker and all-round good egg.

I have worked with Piotr on multiple shoots (roughly 15?) since 2022 and continue to recommend him for upcoming projects. From filming with 3 year olds in spacesuits, to very grown-up people in boardrooms, I have always found him to be unfailingly enthusiastic, flexible, professional and completely present on set. Which are all qualities that I – as a director – really appreciate in a collaborator. On top of this, he is always prepared to go the extra mile, he genuinely enjoys the work, and mirrors my motivation to make every job more successful than the last.

Clemence Bartram,
Director

Piotr collaborates closely with our team, listening to our needs, understands our business and always offers innovative ideas that enhance the final product.

We have worked with Piotr for the past two years, and his expertise and dedication consistently produce exceptional content. His eye for detail, creative vision, and ability to navigate challenges make every project a success. His commitment to delivering high-quality content is evident, and we are always impressed by the stunning visuals and professional quality of his work. We look forward to continuing our partnership.

Shannon Russell,
Senior Employer Brand and Experience Manager Wickes

Piotr is motivated to make every shoot he goes on look great.

He never seems to run out of energy or enthusiasm in his quest to make beautiful content, and he is a joy to work with always bringing a positive and collaborative attitude.

Piotr put everyone at ease, created a relaxed atmosphere, and just made the process easy for everybody involved.

Piotr was a real pleasure to work with on a two-day video shoot. One day of filming was in a supporter’s house and Piotr showed a lot of consideration around being in their space, always making sure they were comfortable with what was happening and clearing up as quickly as possible afterwards.

We were filming with a range of people, some who were bereaved, someone in active treatment, and young children and Piotr was kind and sensitive at all times.

Piotr is an outstanding DOP. Beyond exceptionally high technical and visual skills, he balances a meticulous eye with real warmth and generosity.

On set, he’s never content with mediocre and is always searching for (and usually finding) the very best way to bring alive the film script, concept and feel.

At Lark, we always feel relaxed if Piotr is DOP on one of our shoots, as we know he’ll be brilliant with any contributors, and has the experience to solve any challenges calmly and creatively.

What are you trying to change?

You do not need to know what film, campaign or content you need before we speak. Start with the business problem, audience or opportunity. We can work backwards from there.
