Charity Film and non-profit film that create real impact
Light & Star Media CIC creates powerful film and audio-visual content for charities, social enterprises and non-profit organisations. With deep roots in the third sector, we understand how mission-driven organisations create real change and we’re passionate about helping you deliver it. Ethical storytelling sits at the heart of our work, and we collaborate closely with organisations to create films that can be used and repurposed for years to come, ensuring every film continues to deliver value long after its first release.
Why organisations work with us
We understand the third sector
We have extensive experience working in the third sector, so we understand the pressures on your time and resources. We stay flexible throughout every project and consider how each shot or interview can speak to donors, funders, supporters and policymakers. We’ve also created a page of useful links for charities based on our experience.
We place ethical storytelling at the centre of our work
Charities, social enterprises and non-profits tackle complex issues and support vulnerable groups. We prioritise ethical storytelling, ensuring people are represented respectfully and authentically throughout the production process. See our 9 Principles of Ethical Storytelling.
We know what funders are looking for
Even if your film isn’t made for fundraising, funders will likely see it and it can be reused in applications and appeals. With experience in charity fundraising, we help shape films that reflect funder priorities while staying true to your core message. We focus on emotionally engaging storytelling alongside impact, lived experience and sustainability.
We are passionate about social change and social justice
We are passionate about creating a more equal, inclusive and sustainable world, and we know charities, social enterprises and non-profits are central to driving that change. Before filming, we take time to understand your organisation in depth, including your mission, vision and goals, so we can plan and capture the most impactful footage on shoot days.
