A FILM COMPANY BUILT ON ONE IDEA: TRUST IS EARNED ON SCREEN.
Commercial films since 2012, with a more recent focus on financial and professional services.
MOST CORPORATE VIDEO TREATS A FINANCE BRAND LIKE WALLPAPER
WE THINK A FINANCE BRAND DESERVES THE SAME CARE A BROADCASTER WOULD PUT INTO A SERIES. THAT IS THE WHOLE IDEA, AND EVERYTHING BELOW IS HOW WE DELIVER IT.
So we specialised. Modus now makes films for financial and professional services businesses, because those are the firms with the most to explain and the most to lose by explaining it badly. A drone shot and a handshake will not move a sceptical CFO. Craft will.
Modus Films has been making commercial film since 2012. For most of that time we made it for everyone: agencies, brands, broadcasters. The work we kept being asked back for was the hard stuff. Complex propositions, regulated industries, senior people who had to be persuaded rather than entertained.
THE DIRECTOR
That grounding in broadcast storytelling is why Modus films do not look like corporate video. Pace, performance and craft, pointed at a commercial outcome rather than an award.
It also means the person shaping your film has sat in rooms where the story had to hold an audience that could switch off at any moment. A boardroom audience can switch off too. They are just too polite to tell you.
Owain Pennington directs ITV's BAFTA-nominated comedy G’Wed (Series 3), and has been directing and shooting commercial film since 2012.
