Education is what we know. People are why we do it.
Feel Good Films is a specialist film production company for schools, colleges and universities across the UK and internationally. We make films that capture what makes an institution different — and help the right people feel it too.
Because no two schools feel the same.
That's the interesting bit.
A school, college or university is more than its facilities, results or prospectus. It's the people. The relationships. The culture. The little things you only notice when you're actually there.
Our job is to understand those things, then turn them into a film that couldn't belong to anyone else.
It's why we listen before we write. Why we visit before we shoot. And why we never arrive with your story already decided.
The film should feel like you. Not us.
PEOPLE FIRST. ALWAYS.
Comfortable people make better films. Working with students and young people takes more than knowing where to put a camera.
It takes patience. Confidence. Good judgement. Knowing when to direct and when to disappear into the background.
Our crews understand schools. We know how to work around lessons, safeguarding, busy schedules and people who may never have been on camera before.
We make the experience relaxed, respectful and enjoyable. That's usually when the good stuff happens.
Small team. Big network. Right people.
Feel Good Films is led by a close-knit core team, supported by filmmakers and creatives we've built relationships with over many years.
We don't send whoever's available.
We build the right crew for the project based on the idea, location, scale and, most importantly, the people we'll be working with.
Everyone representing FGF in an educational environment understands what's expected of them. Our crews are appropriately DBS checked, safeguarding-aware and experienced in working with children and young people.
Great at what they do. Good to have around.
HOW WE WORK
A few things we don't compromise on.
Our services
Listen first
The brief tells us what you need. Spending time with you tells us what the film should be.
Be good with people
Students aren't performers. Staff aren't presenters. We meet people where they are and help them feel comfortable being themselves.
Earn the trust
Do what we said we'd do. Turn up prepared. Respect the environment we're working in. Keep people informed. No drama.
Make something worth watching
A film has to do its job. But it should also be something people actually want to watch.
Enough about us, tell us about you.
A new school film. An admissions campaign. A story you know needs telling but aren't quite sure how yet. We'd love to hear it.
Award-winning filmmaking.
Trusted by schools, colleges and universities in the UK and internationally.
