Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.
During the Covid pandemic the Eden Project in Cornwall developed an online festival for two years from 2020 to 2021. The aim of the festival was to share positive stories and create a platform of activities and events to entertain and get people communicating and being proactively engaged in a creative activity. All films had to sit in line with Eden's sustainability objectives.
Here Now Films were commissioned in both years to develop concepts including storyboards and to produce a series of films which told some of these stories of hope and resilience
RESULTS & FEEDBACK
What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?
The quality of the films speak for themselves, we had great engagement from the target audiences with the end product but everyone involved throughout the process including the Eden team and those who volunteered to be part of the festival and the filming, had nothing but praise for the crew and the company.
Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?
We had a very set date for the festival so there was no option to not meet the deadline and Here Now Films provided the end products on time and on budget, infact, exceeded expectations in terms of what they produced for us.
