Stride Forward is a UK-based charity that builds life-changing relationships between mentors and mentees adjusting to life after limb loss or serious injury. Their mission is to help people rediscover confidence, purpose, and joy through shared experience.
Stride Forward asked us to create a brand film that would inspire others to join their community, a piece that captured the authenticity, resilience, and warmth that defines every mentor-mentee relationship.
We focused on real people, real conversations, and genuine shared moments. Over two weekends and across multiple outdoor locations, we followed five mentor–mentee partnerships to document their journeys together.
Unscripted Emotion: Filming candid interactions revealed the joy, trust, and friendship that underpin Stride Forward’s work.
Authentic Environments: Activities like kayaking, clay pigeon shooting, beach walks, and time on a working farm reflected the diversity of experiences and confidence-building moments the charity enables.
Empathetic Production: Every interview and setup was approached with sensitivity, ensuring participants felt comfortable, empowered, and seen.
“This film is a powerful reminder of what’s possible when people come together with purpose. It captures the very essence of what Stride Forward is all about.”
