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.
