The Nahden code…
Story first.
Scripts, storyboards, concepts. A full crew on every shoot, giving it the effort most skip.
Changing who gets in the room.
When we started out, we were turned away from kit hire for not looking “legit”, and we were the only brown faces on our own sets. So we’re changing who gets in the room, and who gets to tell the story. Because others aren’t.
Risk…y.
Weird angles. Moments that breathe. Mistakes on purpose. If that’s not you, this isn’t for you.
The crew.
Founded by Ibrahim Ahmed. Every film is made with a crew from our network of 20+ Sheffield filmmakers, with trusted crews in London, Manchester and beyond.
