About us
Based in Oxfordshire, Wild Rose Studios is an independent film studio dedicated to cinematic storytelling, from feature documentaries to digital campaigns, exploring social justice, health and arts stories.
Our approach is rooted in journalistic rigour and a background in psychological research. We focus on telling big stories through a personal lens, using a creative and sensitive process to bring complex ideas to wider audiences. Ethical and inclusive storytelling is at the heart of how we work.
We collaborate with researchers, NGOs and institutions on projects that use film to explore research ideas, engage participants and communicate work to broader audiences.
Recent projects have contributed to policy change around gender-based violence in South Africa, are used globally to encourage news literacy among children and have supported charity fundraising campaigns generating in excess of £100k.
