Thoughtfully told stories.
Beneath the canopy, the leafcutter ant moves with purpose, foraging and transforming raw material into nourishment for the community. For us, they perfectly capture the essence of our creative process: gathering inspiration and shaping it into stories that resonate.
Leafcutter Films is a London-based production company collaborating with brands and businesses to tell stories through short documentaries. With roots in documentary filmmaking and anthropology, we create films that build trust and brand equity.
The problem isn't that audiences are tired of content, it's that most content isn't built to earn their trust. This is where we come in. Instead of chasing the attention economy, we work in the emotion economy, where real connection lives.
We’re champions of the short doc format, not just because it’s what we’re experts in, but because it leads with authenticity.
We spotlight the stories you care about, the issues you stand for, your purpose beyond profit. When you share why you do what you do, something shifts: your audience stops being sold to, and starts learning about the world through you.
