Citizens Advice aimed to raise awareness about volunteering for their Witness Service, a challenging area in need of support, and increase recruitment for the Witness Service.
To motivate audiences we wanted those they help, and the tough experience they must face, to be front and centre. We crafted an emotive film focused on a court witness during an introspective moment to showcase the impact of a volunteer.
The film was made to a tight budget. To optimise resources, we condensed the narrative to the singular emotional moment. Sound design was used heavily to elevate the production quality of the final piece and imply a larger world beyond the frame.
The film was shortlisted for an EVCOM Industry Award in the 'Best Use of Lower Budget' category 2023.
