Television to Live By
Living, breathing documentary filmmaking
Lion Works blends deep industry expertise with a passion for storytelling — from feature documentaries to social shorts and impact-driven campaigns. We don’t just capture images — we uncover powerful narratives and craft immersive films that pull audiences right inside the story, creating experiences you live, feel, and remember.
Pre-Production
We believe in storytelling from the ground up, shaping compelling narratives, developing original scripts, and building strong visual worlds before the cameras roll. With a focus on stories often overlooked, we bring creative vision, strategic planning, and detailed development to every project. We collaborate closely across production skillsets to ensure every story begins with a solid, cinematic foundation.
What We Do
Production
We tell powerful, authentic stories that matter. We spotlight voices and issues often ignored, crafting films that provoke thought, spark dialogue, and drive change. From in-depth research and immersive shooting, to dynamic storytelling and cinematic visuals, we partner with communities and creators to inform, inspire, and give voice to the overlooked, creating films that resonate long after the credits roll.
Post-Production
From picture editing and immersive sound design, to color grading and finishing, we ensure every documentary reaches its full cinematic potential while staying true to its core message. Editing and sound design are done in-house, by an award-winning team. For colour grading and finishing, we partner with industry leaders to transform raw footage into polished films that engage with audiences.
Regional Focus
​We are a regionally based production company putting under-represented parts of the UK on screen — with a special focus on the east coast of England, where land, sea and sky meet in extraordinary drama. Our work celebrates the deep connection between people and wildlife, exploring communities that live and work in harmony with the natural world. From the fishing families of Boston to the dedicated wildlife stewards of the RSPB and Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust, we build authentic relationships rooted in trust and respect, gaining rare and privileged access to the people and places that matter. Driven by energy, curiosity, and a love of place, we bring a fresh regional voice to factual storytelling — films that are alive with character, heart and conviction.
