Redcurrent Films is a small production company which was founded in 2004 with two main goals: to make films about subjects that interest and excite us and that we care about; and to work with young people and adults - non-filmmakers - on participatory and educational projects. Since then we have done all of these things, both in the UK and abroad. Like most creative organisations, we like to build teams of people that work well together and then keep working with these people whenever we can. To that end, we work with and employ a wide range of freelance filmmakers, artists, musicians, technicians, youth-workers and teachers on all of our films and training projects - all friendly, easy-going people, and very good at what they do. Below are some of the friends and colleagues that we have worked with recently.
