Parnell Media is an independent creative production studio in Cardiff, making thoughtful films and photography for organisations across the UK and beyond.
I’m Alex, founder of Parnell Media. Before building the studio, I spent 15 years in customer experience, operations and project management, working with several multinational organisations. That experience taught me to listen carefully, bring people together and take responsibility for the result.
I’m also a certified Agile project manager and a licensed and insured drone pilot. That combination of creative and operational experience shapes how we work: understanding your audience, planning each shoot carefully and keeping delivery clear from start to finish.
You get direct access to the people making your work, with trusted specialists brought in to match the brief. Personal attention, with the capability to think bigger.
Tell us what you have in mindA focused crew. A shared standard. We bring together filmmakers, photographers and production specialists who care about the work and the experience of making it with you.
Good communication keeps everyone working towards the same outcome, on set and off.
Thoughtful lighting, clear sound and careful preparation give your story the attention it deserves.
Experience inside large organisations taught us how extra handovers and layers of approval can introduce unnecessary delays and complexity. We believe high-impact, professional campaigns are possible with a smaller, agile team of experts, a clear plan and one person keeping everything connected.
Your dedicated relationship and project manager is your single point of contact from pre-production through filming, photography, post-production and final delivery. They understand your objectives, coordinate the crew and keep you informed, so you never have to chase different people for answers.
We build the team around what your project needs. Trusted specialists bring the right skills, with clear responsibilities and direct communication. That keeps decisions moving and focuses your budget on the work that makes a difference.
A project can work harder than a single finished film. We plan opportunities for campaign films, social cutdowns, photography, interviews and other useful assets around your channels and audiences. The aim is to extend the life of your content and maximise the return on your investment.
Meticulous pre-production makes that possible. Together, we define the deliverables, formats, priorities and schedules, then build a shot list and production plan that make the most of the time on set. We agree what is included upfront, so every asset has a purpose and every shoot has a clear direction.
Plan your next projectTrusted by in-house teams, agencies and organisations to capture the people and stories that move them forward.
