Story-driven video for brands with something to say.

We’re Old Friends Films, a creative partnership between Simon Bray and Joel Bankhead, crafting story-driven films for brands and organisations built on purpose.

Simon, an award-winning photographer, has worked with leading publications like The Guardian, The Washington Post and National Geographic Traveller, creating stories about regenerative farming, landscape restoration, and farm-to-table dining with conservationists, farmers, chefs, actors, artists and writers.

Joel, a filmmaker and digital strategist, has spent over a decade helping brands tell their stories through compelling, audience-driven content. At Envato, he grew a global YouTube channel to over 1.6 million subscribers, producing richly crafted educational films that have inspired and educated viewers around the world.
