Content is King.
Branded content is ubiquitous; it encompasses content that enhances brand awareness, communicates values, and helps customers grasp its ethos. It goes beyond mere product promotion and seeks to contribute something meaningful or enjoyable to the consumer experience.

Branded content provides an audience with a window into the values, thoughts, beliefs, and motives of a brand. It offers the opportunity to collaborate with like-minded people, organisations and stories to promote their values through thought-provoking and unique storytelling. That's why it's something we thrive on creating.

Documentary
Real Stories with Real Impact.
Storytelling with heart and soul is what started Heist. Sharing stories about amazing, real people has always been something we've been incredibly passionate about. It's truly why we do what we do. Our experience in being compassionate and respectful to our contributors is what has made us the go-to choice for many brands' documentary content.
• Things That Matter.
Approaching each documentary with the right workflow and respect is of the utmost importance. Being invited into an individual's life and innermost thoughts should always be done with respect and compassion, something we have mastered over the years. To develop trust long before shooting, our pre-production process allows us to uncover the real story. This forms our production schedule, enabling us to capture all the necessary content while providing space for those unscripted moments to unfold.
• All Weathers.
It comes with the territory: accessing remote locations, enduring stormy weather, and prioritizing safety wherever we might be. This holds especially true when working on a documentary. We actively seek those golden nuggets, those unscripted moments of beauty that add authenticity to the story. Therefore, having a production team capable not only of capturing these crucial moments but also ensuring it's done in a safe and controlled manner is equally important.
• On Location.
Filming documentaries on location is a challenge, but one we relish. We have shot across the globe, from remote African tribes and South American beaches to Asian street food sellers, the US Great Outdoors, and the Outer Hebrides in Scotland. Partnering with local production teams, we produce and shoot stories anywhere—that's what we do—all while ensuring that the story is authentically told, and production is safe and structured.
Product Films
Look Sharp.
Getting your product noticed is crucial for a successful launch, and evoking an emotional response is key to achieving that. We dive deep into understanding the product inside-out, developing innovative and thoughtful ways to make it stand out. Whether it's fintech, food, apparel, or alcohol, we work across all industries and are ready to make your product shine.
• Their Best Light.
Precision lighting is crucial in product photography. It accentuates details, colors, and textures, revealing their true essence. This precision guarantees clarity, sharpness, and a polished aesthetic, resulting in visually stunning images that engage viewers and present products in their best light. This not only enhances brand appeal but also amplifies market impact.
• Retouched.
Continuing the production journey into post-production is vital for product films. This might include ensuring accurate and faithful color reproduction, refining prototypes with CGI, and maintaining consistency across a suite of images. These steps ensure the product stands out and is ready to shine.
• Photography.
Simultaneously shooting stills alongside film offers our productions numerous benefits. It ensures consistent visual aesthetics, provides additional promotional material, can capture candid moments, and enhances efficiency on set. The result is a comprehensive and versatile visual storytelling package for promotional and marketing needs.
