What We Offer
We are driven by the belief that the stories we tell can create meaningful impact. Our films not only entertain, they also inspire positive change. Our projects, like Thank You For The Rain and Ping Pong, are often used as case-studies in the industry showing the power of cinema to shift the dial on social norms. Within the industry there's a phrase called 'the Ping Pong effect' - based on our little doc, its where a film's impact snowballs well beyond the filmmaking team and gains momentum as a tool for change far outside a films core audience. In financial terms alone, the projects created in response to our films are far greater than the film's original production budgets.
Banyak Films is trusted by top broadcasters and streamers, including BBC, Netflix, Disney+, Arte, ZDF. We have collaborated with brands and orgs like The North Face, RedBull, HSBC, Amnesty International and Save the Children. UN FCO. Our reputation for quality and authenticity has resulted in lasting relationships with clients, some stretching back 20 years.
We’re always seeking new stories, new relationships, and new experiences to explore through film. If you're looking for a creative partner who’s passionate about impactful storytelling, we’d love to work with you.
