Chalkstone Films

We make highly crafted documentary-style content for academics and researchers to inform and inspire ever wider audiences.

What We Do

Everyone's research is different. We understand the importance of making the right kind of film for each project, from a focussed presentation of key findings to a cinematic exploration of broader themes.

We want to transform the reach of academic research impact by doing what we love – making films.

How We Do It

We work with project leaders, researchers and university comms teams to decide the right combination of style, content and duration according to your budget and intended audience.
