Trust and great working relationships are at the core of the Big Wide World Films production process. We have worked with Arcadia Spectacular a number of times over the years, to help them tell some of their most important stories. Manus worked closely with their creative Director, Pip Rush Jansen, to devise and produce this piece celebrating the creation of their incredible Dragonfly platform. Credit to Trago studios for fantastic camera work and editing.

Manus has extensive experience of creating engaging and punchy brand films for NGOs. Done right, these films galvanise supporters, decision makers and existing staff members alike, and revitalise campaigns. Peace Brigades International commissioned Manus to create a powerful brand film that could have multiple uses. With no budget for new video shoots, Manus reviewed their photographic archive, and worked closely with senior leadership members to uncover the essence of PBI. He then sed his experitse of sourcing archive footage to add narrative dynamism. Writing the script is always the biggest challenge, distilling the message until it is tangible, emotive, and engaging. To increase the potential for the films use Manus devised a generic propostional call to action that could work for any audience - ‘Could you wear the vest?’

We worked with Arcadia Spectacular and their incredible archive of footage to create this film documenting their collaboration with the Whadjuk Nyoongar Nation. It was great to work with such innovators.
