Our services

As a small, highly-skilled and versatile company, we deliver one-of-a-kind storytelling experiences. We understand that every story is unique, which is why we adapt our approach to fit the specific needs of each project.

About Fat Rat Films

Fat Rat Films is not a corporation, we are a passionate group of creative and individual film professionals

Passionate and principled, our team works to create stories that are not only authentic but are crafted to have impacts that are fully reflective of your goals. The services we offer show how a combination of your message and the audience you want to reach, ultimately inform the medium we'll use to tell your story and how best to get it seen.

These are a selection of the services we offer. If you want to learn more about how we work, read more about us here or get in touch - we’d love to hear from you.

Documentary

Documentary filmmaking is the foundation of all the services we offer. Our 20 years of experience is put to use in the process of listening to clients and crafting unique, award-winning stories. The secret to success? We approach every story with sensitivity and creative flair. Equally adept at working remotely or on the ground, our ethical approach to documentary storytelling sees us engaging local crew where possible. And, with our work spanning the globe, we have a vast network as well as a deep understanding of different political and cultural landscapes.

Captives on the Frontlines

The World Cup Whistleblower

Animation

Over the past two decades, we have become experts in crafting compelling animated films. Our specialty lies in transforming complex subject matter - or door-stopping PDF reports - into engaging, digestible videos, ideal for fundraising, product launches and brand building. Whether this is the best medium to tell your story, or if animation can enrich your film, we excel at delivering striking imagery that will have real impact.

Influence Map

Social Content

We create engaging online content that elevates your brand, campaign or message, and is designed to cut through the noise in the online space. We intuitively understand the power of social content - video, images, audio bytes, GFX - and the science behind what works and how to deliver it with impact.

Clean Clothes Campaign

Audio

Sometimes listening can engender stronger feelings and achieve greater impact. We love to produce compelling audio documentaries and podcasts whilst leveraging our people-centred approach and style. If an audio output is something you’re considering, speak to us to see if it’s the right medium for your story/message.

Do Girls & Women Count?

Interactive

We are skilled at delivering innovative, immersive experiences. These can be anything from an online townhall, to a virtual reality cinema, from an augmented reality billboard, to an audience-based interactive session. These distinctive activities transform otherwise traditional communications into something that is lived, co-created and remembered.

Amnesty International & Stop Killer Robots

Comms Consulting

Communications consulting brings together our expansive skillset, garnered over 20 years in the industry giving us a great understanding of all technological aspects of outputting as well as media management. We have in-depth knowledge of everything from stakeholder analysis, distribution, timing, long term strategies and goal setting to getting instantaneous reactions and results within small to large NGOs and INGOs.
