Celebrating our 10th birthday!

In June 2023, Candle & Bell celebrated 10 years! It’s certainly been an eventful decade to be in business! To mark the occasion we even threw a pizza party for staff and collaborators. It afforded us the chance to take a moment out of our busy schedule and look back on everything we’ve achieved.

We would like to say a whole hearted thank you to all our video production clients, to the film funds who have supported our films, to the executives at BBC, SKY ARTS, Creative UK, The BFI and many more who have championed our work and supported the production of films over the years.

Here’s to another 10 years!

It happens in quiet moments sipping coffee or while walking the dogs. Filmmakers are working, even when we’re not holding a camera.

“I can hardly believe that I’ve been selected, and I’m extremely thankful to BAFTA for this opportunity. I’ve benefitted so much from being mentored by Ciara and Rosie, and having the chance to network and exchange ideas with other mentees.”
