Background

Aesthetica Film Festival (ASFF) is a celebration of independent film from around the world, and an outlet for supporting and championing filmmaking.

Working to capture the essence of ASFF, we've been a supporting presence and part of the ASFF video team for a number of years. Every day of the festival we interview delegates, speakers and VIPs. It's all about capturing the events and activities of this incredibly popular festival.

Our event filming services have delivered footage featured in a number of trailers and highlights from previous years alongside the work of film director, James Arden.

Challenges

For anyone who appreciates the thrill of working on large scale public events, you will know the fire it can light in your soul.

Navigating dozens of events and thousands of delegates to a tight schedule is no mean feat. There is of course a schedule, but we also take the initiative. Throughout the days we keep in regular contact with the festival team, updating them as required.

We love this work. We relish speaking to every single person and flying around the capital of Yorkshire to capture the event as it unfolds.
