About

Kinward creates cinematic documentaries and brand films that resonate with audiences. We work with brands, NGOs and institutions to produce films and micro-docs with emotional depth and artistic vision, finding the essence of each story.

Based in Bristol, UK and working internationally, our work shares privileged insights into people's lives - personal stories, stories of culture, community, and ecological regeneration. Films that move us forwards, together.

The process is the product.

We believe ethical filmmaking is grounded in trust, kindness and relationships. Our breadth of production experience, from independent to branded documentary, grows from this foundation. Whether in a Himalayan village or a company boardroom, we prioritise contributors’ experiences, and keep learning to ensure a non-extractive approach.

Taking time to listen, while pursuing bold creative ideas, is how we tell meaningful stories amid the deluge of ‘content’. We make films to last, not to scroll past.
