For researchers

You do the science. We help it reach the people who need to hear it.

Why storytelling matters for research impact

You've spent years on a finding that could change how people understand the world. But a paper in a journal reaches other scientists - not the students, policymakers, or communities who could act on it. Storytelling isn't about simplifying your work. It's about making it accessible, memorable and emotionally resonant. The projects we've built with researchers have reached millions of people, been used in hundreds of classrooms, and won recognition from National Geographic, the Webby Awards, and global sustainability film festivals. We're not a marketing agency. We're storytellers who take science seriously.

What we need from you

Access to the science

Papers, datasets, field notes, briefings - whatever helps us understand the work. We'll do the reading.

Time for conversation

A few calls or meetings to help us find the human story inside the research. We ask a lot of questions.

Review and accuracy

We'll ask you to review scripts and key content for scientific accuracy. Your name is on this too.

What you get

A story that does your research justice

Not a dumbed-down explainer, but a narrative that respects the complexity while reaching non-specialist audiences.

Professional production

Award-winning film, 3D, interactive and immersive production - delivered in formats your audiences actually use.

Measurable reach

Our projects have reached tens of millions of viewers, been installed in museums and classrooms, and supported grant reporting with concrete impact data.

How projects are funded

Our collaborations are typically funded through research grants (EU Horizon, national research councils), institutional partnerships, museum commissions, co-production agreements, or a combination of these. We're experienced in working within grant frameworks and can help you shape the communication and dissemination component of your application. If you're at the proposal stage and want to explore whether a storytelling component could strengthen your bid, that's a good time to talk.

What it looks like in practice

ICEVR

XR4ED, EU-funded project

We worked with researchers from three EU-funded Arctic research programmes - CHARTER, ECOTIP, and FACE-IT - to translate their climate data into an interactive VR classroom experience. Students explore a time-shifting fjord, see how glacier retreat alters ecosystems, and interact with real 3D-scanned environments. The project is now entering school pilots across Europe.

Expedition Everest VR

National Geographic

During the National Geographic and Rolex Perpetual Planet Expedition to Mount Everest, we embedded with an international team of glaciologists, meteorologists and geographers to capture their climate research in 360° video. The resulting VR series puts viewers at base camp alongside scientists. Multiple Webby Awards, used in classrooms and VR theatres worldwide.
