About us
End 2 End Productions are experts in high quality, yet cost effective video production. As our name suggests, we can help you with the whole process – from the initial concept to the finished film.
Established in 2007, we are based in South East London, but we’re always happy to travel.
All of our films are broadcast quality. They look great whether they are uploaded to the web, distributed on DVD or shown on a large screen at an event.
We focus on the public sector and housing providers, so we know what works when you want to inform, involve and inspire people. And because we get it right first time, our experience can save you time and money.
We love film, but we love people more and believe that their own personal experiences should be at the heart of every successful film. Please feel free to contact us to find out how we can help you.
Films for the housing sector
We specialise in films for housing providers. So far, twelve housing organisations have turned to us when they wanted their communications with their residents and stakeholders to be more accessible, easier to understand and to generate a positive reaction.
Our housing clients include A2Dominion, Gallions, Shepherds Bush Housing Group and all of the Community Gateway Housing Associations. Every film is different. Here are just five ways that film can help you achieve your communication objectives:
- Promotional films that introduce your organisation.
- 'How to' films to explain processes, such as 'reporting repairs'.
- Films that capture and promote focus groups and events.
- Films that accompany documents such as tenancy agreements or funding applications.
- Films that encourage residents to participate in your resident involvement opportunities.

Films for the public sector
Film is an incredibly effective (not to mention cost effective) way of informing and engaging.
We've worked with many public sector organisations and understand the increasing need to communicate with a range of audiences – from the general public to staff and stakeholders.
People respond to people. The stars of our films are the staff and service users themselves. We've found that stories told with honesty and passion have a far greater impact than ‘flashy’ titles and graphics. It’s certainly more cost effective.
Every film is different. Here are just five ways that film can help you achieve your communication objectives:
- Promotional films to introduce your whole organisation
- Films that record events such as launches and AGMs – making them available to a wider audience.
- Films that document and promote a particular project.
- Films to encourage more sponsors.
- Films that promote events, such as family days out.

Films for other sectors
Whilst we specialise in films for public sector organisations and housing providers there are many other sectors for which our film making skills and approach are ideal.
We like to make films that are people focused and therefore charities, small businesses and arts bodies have all commissioned us.
Every film is different. Here are just three ways that film can help you achieve your communication objectives:
- A film on your website will improve your google ratings.
- Seeing is believing. If you have film on your website people are 75% more likely to watch it than read any text.
- All our films are broadcast quality so can be used on your website, shown on a large screen at an exhibition or played in a meeting to potential clients, sponsors or service users.
