Our documentaries often span the globe, from remote villages to bustling cities, but they are always grounded in a love of people. From our critically acclaimed films such as Thank You For The Rain (ZDF/Arte) to Ping Pong (Film4) and Ayouni (True Stories), our work resonates because it connects with audiences on a personal level, revealing the extraordinary within the everyday.

We are driven by the belief that the stories we tell can create meaningful impact. Our films not only entertain and inform but also inspire positive change. Many of our projects, like Thank You For The Rain and Ping Pong, are used as case-studies in the industry showing the power of cinema to drive social justice and environmental awareness. Within the industry there's a phrase called 'the Ping Pong effect' - where a film's impact snowballs well beyond the filmmaking team and gains momentum used as a tool for change far outside a films core focus.

At the heart of our filmmaking is a commitment to beauty, both in aesthetics and narrative. We pioneered low-cost shooting kit in the 2000s that produces that ‘cinematic look’ now standard in the industry. Our approach to storytelling is layered, with surface narratives that propel the action forward while deeper themes evolve and resonate larger more complicated truths.

Banyak Films is trusted by top broadcasters and streamers, including BBC, Netflix, and Disney+, and we have collaborated with brands like Redbull, HSBC, and The North Face, creating high-end branded video content with a documentary feel. Our reputation for quality and authenticity has resulted in lasting relationships with clients, many of whom return for new projects.

We’re always seeking new stories, new relationships, and new ways to make a difference through film. If you're looking for a creative partner who’s passionate about impactful storytelling, we’d love to work with you.
