Our story
How we got here
-
Before 2019
The talk that started it
Jack studies TV, film and philosophy at Stirling, then works as a runner on big productions, where he’s one small part of a massive team. He wants to see a film through from start to finish. At a talk at the BBC, David Montgomery explains how he started his own video production company, Media Monty, and what running it is like day to day. That’s the answer: start his own.

2019
A film for Jack’s mum, then our first client
A short film about her art exhibition. A friend she walks the dog with shows it to the Scottish Auto Cycle Union, and it becomes our first paid project. They stayed with us for years.
-
2019
Josh joins
Jack’s cousin Josh joins from a background in music and sound engineering, and takes on post-production.
-
The early years
Making films look good
Music videos, documentaries, promos: we said yes to everything, the best training there is, and it showed us what we do best: films for businesses.
-
Then
What actually makes a video work
We noticed the best-looking films weren’t always the ones that worked. What decides the result is the message: who the film is for, what it needs them to believe, and what it should make them do next. Then the plan for where it will be seen. So that’s what we focus on first, and the craft comes on top.

2022
Amazon and Nestlé
We started working with some of the biggest brands there are, following the same rules: every film built around the job it has to do, not just how it looks.
-
2024
We start building YouTube channels
Starting with Still Spirit, a whisky shop: 600k+ views from just 20 videos, and sales from every upload.
-
July 2026
Moving day at The Briggait
We move into our own office at The Briggait in Glasgow city centre, where we plan and edit every film.

Today
Businesses across Scotland and England
A wide mix of businesses, many of whom we work with month after month: customer stories, website films and YouTube channels, all made to bring in work.
“You can have the best-looking video in the world. If the message is wrong and nobody sees it, it’s pointless.”
What we believe
Five things we’ve learned about video that works
-
01
Good-looking is the starting line
A beautiful film with the wrong message, that nobody sees, does nothing. Making it is step one.
What our films have done → -
02
The message decides the result
Who it’s for, what they need to believe, what they do next. We work that out and script it before filming.
How we brief a video → -
03
A video nobody sees is wasted
We plan where every film will live before we make it, and each one gets its own tracking link.
How we track every video → -
04
Price the film, not the hours
A fixed quote before we start. If the shoot runs long, that’s our problem, not your invoice.

05
We’ll tell you if you don’t need us
If a freelancer, or you filming it on your phone, would serve you better, we’ll tell you.

Who you’ll work with
The people making your film
No hand-offs, no account managers. The people on your first call make your film, start to finish. It’s the reason Jack started the company.

Takes over once filming wraps: runs the edit, keeps you updated through amends, and delivers on time.
Diva Yaghi
Editor
The last person to touch every film. Diva finesses each edit before it reaches you.
Our crew
Brought in per project
Trusted freelancers we know well, booked when a shoot needs more cameras or more hands.
