About Us

Happenstance Films tells real stories about extraordinary people, working with brands, broadcasters and publishers to bring inspiring narratives to wider audiences.

For nearly two decades, we've made films for National Geographic, Disney+, Channel 4, and Al Jazeera, and partnered with brands and institutional partners including Unilever, Mastercard, Bupa, UNICEF, UNDP, The World Bank, the World Health Organization, and the British Film Institute. Our documentary, Ted & Noel, won a Grierson Award and was acquired by Conde Nast.

We work the same way every time: deep research, careful access, and trust built with the people on screen and off. We do not use generative AI our productions and deliver our work with C2PA provenance, allowing partners and audiences to verify the authenticity of our documentaries.
