Reels in Motion were approach by Press Red a Manchester based charity that combats violence against women and girls that threatens both their physical and mental well being.  Reels in Motion felt very strongly not just about the charity as a whole but especially their ‘Break the Silence’ campaign believing we could create a series of films that support the campaign and engage the target audience.  Reels in Motion committed their time and resources to producing a series of 3 films from concept to delivery at no cost to the charity.

The result was a series that took the subject onto a national stage.  Featured on This Morning and BBC Radio 4 as well as a huge amount of North West coverage and from a production prospectus claimed an EVCOM award.

The 3 films all take a very different approach to the campaign in terms of scenarios and settings.  Shot across Stoke on Trent, Cheshire and Manchester the films show the difference types of abusive behaviour you can witness and shows that we all need to Break the Silence and intervene.  Working with some exceptional up and coming talent as well as well-established quality, the performances in all films are excellent.  Directed by Reels in Motions’ Phil Bland.

The reels in motion team are the best.  The guys simply got it!  And to give all the production services free of charge is just such a wonderful gesture.  They truly are a fantastic, values let business that produces absolute quality.  Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart.  You have made a real difference with these films and should be very proud.

We just had to support this campaign and knew we could produce a series that would make a difference.  Working with no budget made us explore fresh and up and coming talent.  Phil did a great job in his direction and we are really proud of the results and of course the EVCom award.

This was a project that not only push our production skills to deliver the quality on camera but also to produce a production of this scale with no budget.  Thank you to everyone who reduced their fees, offered free support and helped the production in any way they possibly could, we really appreciate it and know that we made a difference with this campaign.
