Still River Films

People are amazing! You are amazing! That’s why most of my video productions through Still River Films have a huge human quality to them. Many of today’s videos and promotional films lack this important element, but I believe strongly that people connect with people. Consequently, all of my film and video work is strongly steered towards to storytelling. Its only through “story” can you really connect with others, and its also the only way to really communicate your message in an inspiring and interesting way.

Family History Films

Many people think of family history as something that happened a long time ago. However, I think differently! I believe that history is being made everyday! A photograph captured today will become a valued document in years to come. The achievements of your children captured in the present, whether that be sports, artistic talent, or whatever it is, will become a treasured memory later on in life. For those who are already much older, I can recap those past memories and present them as a truly captivating life story.

Testimonials from previous clients

I trusted Gwyn from the start and together we have grown to become slick production partners. Gwyn has a canny way of knowing what is needed and when. He can take the ordinary and through careful editing make it extraordinary. I must also mention the fun, friendships and good times we share on location because these are in the DNA that winds it’s way through the final edit. Still River Films revived my presenting career and I can’t wait for our next production soon. Highly recommended.

Damien Lovegrove - LOVEGROVE SHOP, CLIENT

We have been working with Still River Films for several years. When trying to convey the complex world of care it is necessary to incorporate many stakeholder points of view. In order to be engaging this has to be through story. Gwyn’s background and attention to detail with regard to the messages being conveyed is critical to making content that is both engaging and impactful.

Adam Hoare - V-CONNECT, CLIENT

We commissioned him to do the presentation video of our electronic charity box and have been very very impressed by Gwyn's professional approach, extreme attention to details and very high quality of the finished product. Furthermore, during the filming our demo unit had a small part which was not properly assembled but we noticed only that when watching the video's first cut. Gwyn's corrected it with special effects and in the final version it is literally impossible to notice it. Superb job!!
