How HobsonCurtis Films works

HCF loves the craft of film production and thrive on engaging
with all kinds of people and subjects.

Creative

We are determined to find the story that lies at the heart of each film and to tell that story in a way which engages audiences on an emotional and intellectual level.

Collaborative

We know that videos are a major investment, and we like to work closely with our clients throughout the production process to ensure they feel their time and money has been well spent.

Professional

With your input, we will create a brief summarising your aims. This helps us to develop a proposal and budget estimate. We will then work with you on a production schedule with milestones from concept stage to final delivery.

Committed

We won’t consider the job done until you are delighted about the end results.
