The Village Films

Thanks Valerie Jamieson, what a pleasure it was to work with you again and a bonus that it was on such a fun and inspiring project. 😊

The highlights of the recent charity mission with Operation Sonrisa (Smile) Honduras. The video highlights the motives and the values that drive Mubadala to send their employees on these long and far-away charity programs. It was an awesome and unforgettable experience for our crew as well. Lucky that we get to work on projects like this. 😍

We have just wrapped up an incredible shoot in San Pedro Sula, Honduras! San Pedro Sula often gets a bad rap for its reputation as a dangerous city, so we knew we needed a strong, experienced local team we could trust. Enter the fantastic crew at ViralMedia! They not only provided top-notch security but were also an absolute joy to work with—professional, fun, and genuinely kind people. Despite the challenging conditions—temperatures soaring up to 40 degrees and a haze of pollution that far exceeds safe levels—we saw no danger. The hardest part was witnessing the pollution affecting the city, with most residents having little means to protect themselves and their families. The shoot went off without a hitch, and we were blown away by the local people’s kindness, resilience, and sense of humour. We’ve forged some lifelong connections with this talented and wonderful team, and for that, we are incredibly grateful. Thank you, Viral Media, for making this experience memorable and safe. 💪🎬✨ #SanPedroSula #Honduras #FilmShoot #ViralMedia #Gratitude #Professionalism #Resilience #LocalTalent #Filmmaking #Connections #Teamwork

James with our local AC on location in Madagascar. We’re lucky enough to be filming another series of short documentaries for Mubadala and Operation Smile. The international volunteering mission is the first of many this year that we will have the pleasure of documenting. As always, we’re proud to help shine a light on the fantastic work of Operation Smile 😊

Jane Barrie-Bramwell and Frank filming with one of our brilliant contributors for the upcoming documentary on fusion energy— A Black Belt Fusion Scientist! Very cool :) #FusionEnergy #DocumentaryFilming #MartialArtsInScience https://lnkd.in/dd7Bxy-H

We're excited to see the return of the world's greatest fusion energy showcase in June and extremely happy to have helped with the event promo. Enjoy! :)

As we are knuckling down in the edit for a second feature-length fusion film, it was a nice surprise to receive this snap of an ad from this week's New Scientist this morning. #cleanenergy #cleanenergyfuture #fusion #fusionenergy #nuclearfusion #JET #documentary

We did a thing (i.e., made a film) and it’s now on Amazon to watch. Merry Christmas everyone 🎄🌍☀️ https://lnkd.in/e3BS-38n Tim Bestwick Joe Milnes The Village Films #fusionenergy #fusioniscoming

In December 2021 the world's largest and most advanced fusion energy experiment, JET, broke the world record for fusion power. For months, documentary makers The Village Films followed scientists and engineers at home and at work at UK Atomic Energy Authority as they grappled to move the world one step closer to a future of clean, safe, cheap and unlimited energy. The result is "Star Makers: The Energy Of Tomorrow" and is a fascinating insight into the trials and triumphs of working at the forefront of fusion energy research. I've hosted several screenings and panel discussions of "Star Makers" and am always in awe at the drive and ingenuity of my fusion colleagues. I'm so thrilled that "Star Makers" is now available to stream on Amazon Prime. https://lnkd.in/eGkiwwQQ Celestine Cheong James Gurden Joe Milnes Stuart White Rebecca Day

We loved witnessing this impressive collaboration that is shaping our future. Hats off to Crystal Moore and her team for another inspiring event. 👏
