Housing association films and video production

It’s time to change the narrative and set the agenda

Paper Films is a film production company specialising in helping our housing sector clients change narratives and set new agendas. We help housing associations build stakeholder relationships, secure investment, make complex ideas accessible, and call their audience to action.

Changing the narrative and setting the agenda

By engaging audiences both rationally and emotionally, film can shift public opinion and influence policymakers, industry leaders, and investors. It can bring attention to alternative approaches, presenting new perspectives and challenging existing assumptions to spark debate, and inspire a re-evaluation of current practices and priorities. In this way, film serves as a powerful tool to redefine the conversation and shape future directions in the housing market.

Building stakeholder relationships

Like all relationships, bringing together and bonding a diverse range of people and interests is a matter of mutual respect, understanding and trust. It is a fundamentally human experience and exchange. Like no other medium, film can help shape and create a shared narrative that aligns interests and fosters understanding, making all stakeholders feel more connected to a project or cause by strengthening partnerships, creating a sense of community, and encouraging stakeholder commitment to achieving shared objectives.

Helping to secure investment

Paper Films is a film production company specialising in changing the narrative. We find the positives where others only see negative, working with housing sector organisations to understand their challenges and the stories they really want to be heard. The stories that tell of the hard work, commitment and genuine care they have for their customers. Stories that connect them with their customers, inspire the market and engage with investors.

Making complex ideas and plans accessible to all

Making complex ideas and subject matter engaging, relatable, and easier to comprehend for everyone, can be a real challenge, especially for those operating in the housing sector. There is a vast body of evidence that tells us that engaging multiple senses through film makes it easier for viewers to grasp complex ideas and retain information. By turning abstract ideas into relatable stories, films bridge knowledge gaps to reach a wider audience, regardless of their expertise.

Call people to action

It’s one thing to inform and educate your audience, but another challenge entirely to call organisations, communities and stakeholders to action. By showcasing real stories, challenges, and successes, film can create a sense of immediacy and personal connection, accelerating decision-making and inspiring your audience to act. In making the need for action tangible and relatable, film can motivate collective efforts toward meaningful change.
