Research
Satya Films provides specialist, immersive, ethnographic research methods capturing real moments and real stories.
We create engaging ethnograpic films for leading research companies, design companies and 1st, 2nd and 3rd sector organisations. We help to put real human experience at the heart of policy making, communication, design, evaluation and legacy building.
Intimate participant journeys shape our field work, and our documentaries resonate with insight, authenticity and human truths.
Much of the research work we produce is sensitive and for internal purposes only. Please get in touch if you would like to see further examples or discuss a project.
