About Us

The Back story…

Encompass Films came into being the hard way back in 2007. It all started with one man, one camera, and a 20,000 mile bicycle journey. Only one pair of hands to film, steer, and protect against rabid dogs.

Since then we have grown. First film festivals, then Network TV and web content. As we’ve developed, we’ve sprouted fresh shoots and branched out, creating new exciting content of our own and producing content on behalf of other media outlets, major brands and even the music industry. But one thing hasnʼt changed. All along the way our feet have stayed firmly rooted at the heart of adventure, after all almost everything worth doing or hearing about is in some way adventurous right? Wide eyed wonder, White knuckle rides, the relief of a good glass of wine after a long day on the mountain…..or at the office. We capture everything on film – well, flash disks.

Our MO…

Encompass has made a name for itself not only by capturing mouth watering imagery, but telling a story that doubles its value. And with the latest equipment and some sneaky techniques, we can capture those stories from the best angle. We keep our projects in house. We know that our team reads from the same hymn sheet, so why farm out jobs to anyone else? Our best editor gets up at 4am on his day off to go fishing, and when our sound man isnʼt tinkering with levels in a studio decked out with exotic musical instruments, heʼs out training for the next ironman… In short, we at Encompass love all that we do and that is reflected in our work.

Our Skillset…

Our crew is adept at operating the highest end cameras and studio equipment, but our roots in adventure mean that we also consider ourselves ‘MacGyvers’ of the film world. We work with the budget, equipment and conditions available to tell the story. Whether it be filming in the vertical playground of Yosemite or the high pressure corporate world of deadlines and open plan offices, we know the tricks that get the creative results you are looking for.

Sounds and more…

With a unique network of accomplished musicians at our fingertips, we have access to a wide range of new, fashionable sounds without the bind of astronomical licensing fees. But no amount of good music makes up for story. So, where ʻto-cameraʼ story telling doesnʼt fit in, our in-house writing, producing and voiceover experience can add an all-important edge to the imagery.

Why Us?

Because we have the imagination of children, the efficiency of a swat team, and the flexibility of the Ross Sisters. Look them up. They’re flexible.
