ABOUT

We Were Here is an original documentary series created in support of World Refugee Day. Three short films, The Musicians, The Toymaker and The Permaculturist, were created to explore the courage and individuality of refugees from around the world and tell their stories of hope away from home.

This was a fantastic project that we had the privilege to work on with the wonderful team at Uncommon, Leif and the UN Refugee Agency. All three episodes are available to stream only on Youtube.

Terms and conditions

I have worked with many Vis FX companies over the years but most recently with JAMFX and the I found the experience to be by far the best.  The most crucial element for me is the communication and I found this to be fantastic.    I was able to speak to our supervisor any time – no problem was too big or small for them to sort.   We were on a very tight deadline and they delivered ahead of time and the work was exemplary.     They are also an incredibly creative company and always felt that they cared about the project and had invested time in understanding what was needed.
 
I know that our whole team from our director to our post producer enjoyed the experience and crucially, plan to work with them again.
