A few stills 📸 from a series of videos we produced for the School of Art and Design at University of Leeds

The courses included both undergraduate and postgraduate options and were introduced in 2022. The aim of the videos was to engage prospective students interested in a career in fashion or textiles, particularly those with a strong interest in sustainability. The films would be used for general student recruitment and to generate interest and sign-ups for the 2022/23 academic year.

Working with the and the school of performance and cultural industries. We were commissioned to produce a feature length documentary on the subject of Burlesque.

The project demanded extensive travel across the UK, a tight production schedule of 6-8 weeks and a production company with the strong track record in the documentary field, including broadcast credits.

The challenge with the film was to approach a niche and occasionally controversial subject matter and present it to a broader audience in a sensitive yet engaging manner.

Due to the success of the film, Fabulous Femininities will be featured at numerous film festivals throughout the UK in 2024.
