AlTi Tiedemann Global
Six productions and counting for one of the world’s largest wealth managers. AlTi Tiedemann Global manages over $71 billion for ultra-high-net-worth families across London and New York. Over three years we’ve become their retained production partner, delivering six global campaigns including their flagship brand film, a Social Progress Index launch screened at Davos, and ongoing internal communications. The film above is their purpose piece: a cinematic story, shot in London and New York, about what happens when private capital meets measurable social impact across 170 countries. Complex finance, made human.

Kyn London
KYN needed to differentiate through authentic human stories. Over three years, we embedded with their team across Hurlingham and Fulham, producing a library of documentary-style brand content.

CONSTRUCTION
JA BROOKS MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
100 years of building London. One film to tell the story. JA Brooks have been welding, fabricating, and fitting mechanical services across London for a century, from the Blitz to today. They didn’t want a glossy corporate reel. They wanted the truth. We shot across their pod construction facility and active sites in the heart of the city, building a portrait of the engineers, welders, and families behind four generations of the business. Honest, cinematic, and the kind of film that made grown men tear up at the premiere.

Client Testimonials
Our wall of love
500+ films in London • 10+ years • Highly Commended, The Drum Awards
I have worked with Here Now for two projects now and both have been hugely successful. The team are collaborative, creative and reliable. They have executed both projects to a supremely high standard and we are all delighted with the results. Will definitely be using them for future projects.
Ed and Ted created a micro-documentary for us showcasing an innovative project, they were highly professional, fitted in seamlessly with a highly complex and fast paced day of activity and logistics, while building instant rapport with the multiple people involved in the day. In the end they produced a brilliant product for us delivering exactly to the brief, telling the story of the project with creative flare, style and depth. I’d highly recommenced them to anyone looking to create high quality, watchable content, with a company that has a journalistic and high level of attention to detail and adaptable approach to covering a story. Also great fun to work with in general from the creative planning stages through to filming.
I worked with a crew of four people from Here Now Films for a pilot project. Morgan, the organiser, was very proficient and quick to respond to communications. We met for the first time on the day with a bit of a hazy plan for a tricky shoot, but the crew took it all in their step and the final product was great. Would recommend.
Here Now are professional, creative and a pleasure to work with. The team are well organised, easy to communicate with and delivered an excellent result. Highly recommended.
I had a great experience with Here Now – they worked collaboratively with us and were an immeasurably great part of bringing the vision of the project to life.
