Awen Productions CIC

Awen Productions CIC awen is a media production social enterprise based in West Cornwall. awen is run by directors Barbara Santi, Nick Harpley, and Stuart Norfolk.

The ethos at the heart of awen productions is the creative use of digital media as a tool for positive social change. Our work is about inspiring and empowering communities by telling stories through film. awen is the Cornish word for inspiration/muse. We operate with a "more-than-profit" ethos, which means all profits are routed directly back into community projects we're developing. The CIC format enables us to stay close both to the management and delivery of awen's projects.
