‘The intangible moments of inspiration to your design ethos’
Nick Bennett, founder of Hand Built Films, started his journey through fine art and experimental film making. By playing with narrative, light and sound, he formed his own moving-image research sketch book and became fascinated with the creative process.
Nick discovered that all successful creative journeys have both lightbulb moments and iterative processes that, when filmed, capture the imaginations of their audiences, bringing about genuine engagement and lasting connection.
A cinematic narrative with emotionally engaging visuals will immerse the viewer in your story. This makes film the perfect complement to a successful project and the best way to connect with your audiences.
When clients explain that Hand Built Films has perfectly captured everything from the intangible moment of inspiration to their design ethos and the craftsmanship that goes into bringing that to life, we know we have created a film that will deliver meaningful results.
Sebastian Cox & Nikon

The video follows designer, craftsman and environmentalist, Sebastian Cox, revisiting one of his his previous designs, for his 2021 relaunch of ‘Products Of Silviculture” range.
He combines his furniture making skills with the traditional methods used to manipulate green hazel.
The collection aims to promote the use of hazel as a contemporary material – an abundant resource that, he feels, is hugely overlooked in Britain.
