I'm Andrew Davies, a London director and DOP with 20+ years in production. One focused filming day with a founder produces three months of social content, because audiences trust a real person more than a faceless brand.
Founder-led video - where the person behind a business talks directly to camera - consistently outperforms branded content for trust, engagement, and lead quality. One structured filming day, with the right preparation behind it, produces up to 24 pieces of content that run across three months of social. The programme covers strategy, scripting, coaching, filming, editing, and quarterly refilm sprints. See also: corporate communications film for executive messaging at scale, and video case studies for client proof alongside founder content.
When a business owner speaks directly to camera about what they do and why they do it, it closes the gap that no website copy can. This film brings together independent businesses from across East Sussex - each using short owner-led video to reach local customers, explain their offer in their own words, and compete credibly against bigger brands. Real people, real businesses, no script.

Shape the themes, stories, and angles your audience will respond to - before a camera is switched on. Two hours of focused pre-production that makes everything else possible.
One filming day captures up to 24 pieces of content, coached and directed so they feel natural, not scripted. The day is structured around delivery - decisions have already been made.
Eight new posts edited per month, formatted for each platform, with captions and performance notes. Refined based on what the data says is landing.
A new content season every quarter keeps the library fresh and reflects where the business is now. The review session feeds directly into the next scripting day.
The programme is structured in three phases, :
| Phase | Investment | What it covers |
|---|---|---|
| Month 1 setup | £1,995 | Strategy workshop, pre-production, coaching, scripting, filming up to 24 pieces, and first-round review |
| Months 1–3 editing | £675/mo | Eight posts edited and formatted per month, performance testing, and ongoing consultation |
| Quarterly refilm | £1,200 | Performance review session, scripting day, and a new filming sprint for the next quarter |
Some businesses have a story that no brochure can carry. Chevler has been manufacturing baking cases in Wales since 1922 - making them the world's oldest baking case manufacturer, with a 5,000 sq. m factory, 60 skilled team members, and over 500 sizes of crimped and specialist cases.
The brief here was to let the founder's voice do what a spec sheet never could: explain where the craftsmanship comes from, why the BRC AA-rated quality standard matters to the bakeries and hotel kitchens they supply, and what a century of making something well actually looks like. Shot on-site in Wales, the film lets the work speak - and gives a heritage business the kind of content that earns trust before a sales call ever happens.

A structured pre-production process - strategy workshop, content planning, scripting - means the filming day is focused on execution rather than decision-making. Up to 24 individual pieces are captured in a single sprint, then edited over the following months at eight posts per month. The key is preparation: without it, a filming day produces generic content. With it, it produces a library.
The strategy workshop takes roughly two hours. After that, the production team handles scripting, shot planning, and logistics. The founder's job on filming day is to show up ready to talk - not to produce the content themselves. Most founders find the day significantly less demanding than they expected.
LinkedIn is where most founders see the highest return from this format - particularly for B2B audiences. Content can also be adapted for Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, and TikTok depending on where your audience is. Format, length, and captioning are optimised per platform during editing.
The initial setup - strategy workshop, scripting, filming up to 24 pieces, and the first round of edits - is £1,995. Monthly editing and performance review is £675 per month over a three-month programme. Quarterly refilm sprints are £1,200. The full three-month programme runs to approximately £5,000.
Performance data from the first month informs the edit approach for months two and three - what topics and formats are landing, what isn't. The quarterly review and refilm is a deliberate reset point built into the programme. Founder-led content takes three to six months to build an audience; a single post rarely tells the full story.
