HERO was created with the intention of bringing together a mix of people with unique stories and experiences to create impactful, original videos. After working with young, diverse and talented crews in the Music industry, we noticed a lack of diversity and a prevalence of uniformity in the commercial production industry. We realised that talented individuals who had been working in other sectors were struggling to find new paths and experiences in the commercial world; and the change was welcomed and celebrated by our clients.

This realisation strengthened the goal of providing opportunities to these individuals and bringing together a diverse group of talented filmmakers. We recognise that films are made of stories, and stories are made of people so by prioritising diversity and inclusion within our extended workforce, we aim to create films that are representative of the world we live in and tell stories that resonate with audiences from all walks of life.

The name "HERO" represents the idea of celebrating everyday heroes and the strength and resilience they possess. It also signifies the ambition it takes to rise to new heights, to view every day as another opportunity for growth, and the bravery to put your best and worst ideas out there.

HERO aims to create a space where all individuals are valued and celebrated for their unique talents and experiences.
