Here at Crosscut we’re very proud to launch our new creative arm, Fishbulb Films. Whilst Crosscut will continue to provide outstanding video services, Fishbulb Films will be focussing on high end, narrative-based production.

With thanks to Creative England’s ‘New Ideas Fund’, we’ve managed to accelerate the launch of this new creative arm to provide new and existing customers with high end branded content as well as working towards funding bids to focus on the art of storytelling through moving image. Fishbulb Films strive to produce captivating and powerful stories to audiences across the globe.

You can see our very first showreel here:

“We saw the fund from Creative England and thought that we fit the criteria perfectly. We’d been itching to produce some more narrative based content and had found that we were receiving more and more enquiries about producing ‘film style content’ which didn’t particularly fit within our corporate brand, Crosscut Media.”, Dan Flanders, Co-Director said.

“The new Fishbulb Films brand will allow us to focus on two sets of very different clients and their different requirements. Crosscut Media will look after things like event coverage, video testimonials, live streaming and promotional videos whilst Fishbulb Films will focus on narrative-based projects where larger crews are required.”

“We’re delighted to have received this grant from Creative England which has been invaluable in helping us to kick start Fishbulb.”

The grant covered start up costs such as web design, and a small amount of equipment as well as a number of reusable branded flasks to help reduce the amount of waste produced by the film making industry.

“Having a production company that causes the least harm to the environment is our goal. We have implemented an environmental strategy for all of our projects, to make sure they’re as green as possible.”, Duncan MacLeod, Co-Director said.

“For each production we have a designated environmental officer. The officer ensures that during each project we are being as conscious about our impact on the environment as possible.”

Jordan Dean, who has been working at Crosscut Media for the past 18 months has also been instrumental in pushing forward the new brand.

“The film industry is such a difficult industry to get into, so from completing my MA in International Film Production last year to co-founding Fishbulb Films this year will allow me to continue to hone my craft as a director by working on a wide range of creative projects.” Jordan added.
