Stories with heart

We create branded documentaries, interview case studies and commercials that go beyond simple marketing to truly connect with audiences.

We help position our clients as leaders in driving social and cultural change.

All built on working class qualities, and a Northern Heart.

Meet the founders

Natasha Hawthornthwaite and Scott Bradley founded Northern Heart Films on a passion for authentic storytelling.

From the North, their clear vision was to move beyond dry commercial content and create films that make audiences feel something real, blending world class quality with a personal, purposeful touch.
