Our doc is now on Disney+ !!

Extremely proud to announce that our documentary is now available online.

As rising sea levels and coastal erosion threaten their homes, the people of Norfolk, England, face an impossible choice. Should they abandon their community to the encroaching tide or stay and fight the ravages of climate change? This is their story of survival against nature's fury.

Well done to the team and what a great way to start 2026.

We wrote a comedy... and FILMED IT!

Beyond excited to announce that New Take Films and Fresh Cut Video are launching a brand new original YouTube comedy channel, Majestic Eagle.

Here's some BTS of our first in the series called Great British Dishes, starring David Schaal of The Inbetweeners, Armando Iannucci show and many more.

This is a beyond exciting new chapter and we can't wait to share the final video as I think it's very funny and I am my own toughest / self-affirming critic.

After months of work, travel, and creative collaboration, we are finally ready to share the first episode of Sounds Like Home.

This series started with a question: What sounds like home?

We set out to explore that through the ears of sound designers and field recordists around the world, people who dedicate their lives to listening closely and capturing what most of us don’t even notice.

As directors and producers, we’ve followed this idea across borders, the result is a series of short film portraits that place sound, and the people behind it, at the centre of the story.

Episode 1 is now released and takes us to Kragujevac, Serbia, where Danilo is trying to record the sound of a disappearing car: the Zastava 101.

We’re proud to launch this series in collaboration with Soundly!
Made by Antfarm / New Take Films

With our incredible Serbian crew:

Jelena Pranic
Aleksandar Jakonic
Danilo Crnogorac

Last week, Freedom One Life teamed up with New Take Films to complete filming on 'Race Across Europe in a Series 5' an incredible powerchair-led adventure that saw participants racing across the continent while four dedicated film crews captured every moment.

Freedom One Life was founded many years ago to create a powered wheelchair designed through lived experience for the real world.

Four powerchair users have raced across Europe with a Series 5 powerchair and enjoyed the benefits of using a powerchair designed by powerchair users.

This groundbreaking co-production explored the realities of accessible travel, proving that with the right powerchair technology, support network, and careful planning, disabled adventurers can explore Europe to the fullest.

The race documented how thoughtful preparation and cutting-edge mobility solutions can transform the European travel experience for powerchair users, turning potential barriers into conquered destinations.

Watch this space for more information about the full episodes releasing later this year, because this co-production has created something truly special.

With huge thanks to Alex Papanikolaou for his vision and the Freedom One Life team.

Special thanks to the incredible filming teams who brought it to life:

James Haslam / Window Zebra Productions
Giuseppe Abba
Julian Klassen
Elliot Foreman 🎥

Now... to the edit!
