At Banyak Films, we create character-driven documentaries that celebrate the power of human stories. Based in the UK our films shine a light on individuals from all walks of life, revealing universal truths about what it means to be human. Whether capturing the resilience of a single person or exploring the complex dynamics of social and environmental justice, we always look for something deeper. Our films are more than just the surface action, they reveal something about the challenges and triumphs we all share.

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 by NGOs as part of their impact distribution efforts, showing the power of cinema to drive social justice and environmental awareness.

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, always ensuring that each frame is as compelling as the story it tells. Our approach to storytelling is layered, with surface narratives that propel the action forward and deeper themes that resonate long after the credits roll. 

Banyak Films is trusted by top broadcasters and streamers, including BBC, Netflix, and Al Jazeera, and we have collaborated with brands like Redbull, HSBC, and The North Face, creating high-end branded 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.
