We made BAFTA Crew!

April 25, 2017

We have some very exciting news, our Director Matthew Lawes has been selected by BAFTA, to be part of their initiative; BAFTA Crew!

From BAFTA's website:

'Our professional network and masterclass programme connecting emerging talent to BAFTA-winners and nominees.'

BFI NETWORK X BAFTA Crew is an enhanced version of the popular professional development program. For the first time, it is connecting emerging 'below-the-line' talent with writers, directors, and producers, providing a rare opportunity for peer to peer networking and development across all key roles within production.

Now in its fourth year, BAFTA Crew provides exclusive live and online masterclasses, as well as networking sessions with BAFTA winners and nominees. This year 517 people will take part from across the UK, split roughly 50/50 between crew working in film and television with at least two years' of broadcast or feature credits and writers, directors and producers on the way to making their first feature films.

Participants, selected by leading practitioners in film and TV, include individuals who worked on BAFTA-nominated films such as Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, The Hard Stop and American Honey, on BAFTA-nominated television shows such as Game of Thrones, Black Mirror and The Murder Detectives, and on projects screened at film festivals such as Berlin, Sundance and Tribeca.

BFI NETWORK X BAFTA Crew is part of BFI NETWORK's UK-wide talent development scheme.

“I used Post Folk, who are an Other Brother Studios company, for all our Post Production and they were superb! We did the whole edit with them as well as the online and grade. It was for my first feature documentary called DBE, which we made about CrossFit star Danielle Brandon. We wouldn't have reached the level of quality without them.”

Antony Green, Head of Production - R.A.D

“Art Station has used Other Brother Studios services for post production on a number of projects and they've been brilliant. Great communication and understanding of our needs and speedy turnaround of work so that we were able to get media out and up online. Highly recommended!”

Clare Palmier, Founder / Director - The Art Station

“A pleasure to work with Matthew on various projects over the past four years in London and Suffolk. He is professional, extremely knowledgable, flexible and all round, fantastic to work with. Highly recommend Matt and his production team!”

Robyn Woronka, PhD researcher studying Cinematic Geography

“We worked with Other Brother Studios in producing a short community-based video covering various Suffolk towns. We found them great to work with -flexible, easy going and professional. We were very pleased with the resulting video.”

Chris Wade, Director, the People & Places Partnership

“We've worked with Matthew & Other Brother Studios many many times over the past few years, and have always been happy with their attention to detail, their ability to make whatever our vision is come to life, and their 'nothing is a problem' attitude.

The next time we're producing any video content, Other Brother will be first on the list to work with. Big thumbs up, all of the stars, etc etc. See you soon.”

Curtis Stansfield, Some Voices

“We worked with Matt and his team at Other Brother Studios to produce videos remotely for our Ridgeview Wine client. The process was fast, with clear and regular communication and the end result was fantastic with everyone incredibly happy and some fantastic results from the campaign. Hope to work together for many years to come.”

Tom Harvey, Yesmore Beverage Marketing Agency

“Matt and his team are my first call when looking to collaborate on international productions for broadcast television. Matt goes to great lengths to understand the creative direction of our projects and brings with it, professionalism, artistry and a wealth of knowledge. They always deliver exceptional productions and it is a pleasure to work with Other Brother Studios.“

Alexandra Edwards, Stingray C-Music

“I’ve been working with Matt for several years and he always brings creativity and professionalism to every job we do. His combination of technical knowledge and artistic flair ensues every film we make is a thing of beauty that consistently wows clients. Wholeheartedly recommend.”

Andrew Mills, School Reel

“It was a pleasure to work with the creative minds at Other Brother Studios. They went to great lengths to ensure they understood the ethos of our work and our hopes for the film. They had a clear vision for the piece and captured the sensitive nature and the human side of our work which resulted in a beautiful, engaging and touching film. They were required to film in a challenging environment with many restrictions, however, they handled this with ease and care. We are very grateful to have such a high quality and professional film to share our work with the world.”

Bridie Coombes, Project Development Officer, Suffolk Artlink

"Other Brother Studios were super professional, down-to-earth and easy to work with. The final product was a beautiful, high-quality visual explanation of what we offer as a business, and we're grateful that they managed to capture the essence of our company in such a unique and memorable way."

Adele Barlow, Head of Content & Communications, Makers Academy

“It was an absolute pleasure working with Other Brother Studios. Their inquisitive nature, friendly approach and eye for detail helped us tell our story in an honest and engaging way. The end result is a beautiful short film that wonderfully encapsulates our ethos, leading to measurable and remarkable results. We cannot wait to bring them back to the distillery, to capture the next stage of our adventure.”

Abbie and Chris, Cooper King Distillery

“Having seen the body of work Matthew was capable of delivering when he was awarded the Film Fund bursary, co-founded by the Roundhouse and Ex-Animo Foundation, we were quick to approach him again to commission him to direct and produce another animated short film, which went on to win many awards. Matthew has established himself as a highly commended film director, and Other Brother Studios as a professional and respected entity in the film production industry.

We have known Matthew for over 6 years, working together, and have always found him a person of great integrity and a bona fide professional with a truly impressive showreel. We were also delighted to hear that Other Brother Studios started their own Film Fund to continue impact investing in young filmmakers.”

Marlena Hellebø, Ex Animo Foundation

“We were knocked out by the video we made with Matt and the team at Other Brother Studios. They made it really easy to get something positive together and delivered on everything they said they were going to do and more. The video concept Matt delivered was spot on, and the shoot and all that followed matched that. Brilliant! Great result. Thanks to you all."
