We love making documentaries in Manchester. Not just talking about ideas. We want to make the films we believe in and make them happen.
So, we set up our company Films Not Words. Enough talking, let’s crack on and make documentaries about some of the amazing people on our doorstep. Even better, let’s make them with the talented crew who live and work here.
We are a new production company, founded in 2023. But our team have been working here for over 20 years on programmes for the BBC and Channel4 among others. We have got the contacts and we get the people.
Now, just like the city we belong in, we want to do things differently. We want to redress the balance, on and off screen, offering more opportunities and fair pay to crew outside London and greater representation of women behind and in front of the camera....
Our first feature-length documentary film is currently nearing the end of its edit, telling the amazing story of a forgotten Manchester women’s football team who conquered the world at the height of the FA's ban on women.
