FILMS THAT BUILT TRUST
Films that feel like you
We make businesses impossible to ignore.
Story-led films that show who you really are and build trust with the people who matter most.
WHO WE ARE
Boutique by design, trusted by businesses that matter
We are Chris and Helen Butler, and Two Krakens is a boutique B2B film studio in the West Midlands. With more than twenty five years of combined experience, we stay involved in every project we take on, from the first conversation to the final cut.
Our cameras have been on sets and in rooms alongside names you would recognise, and we bring that same standard to every business we work with, whatever the budget. We call our work film, not video, because there is a difference. A video gets watched once and forgotten. A film is built with intention, and built to earn trust with the people you most want to reach.
Every film here started with a conversation, not a camera. Take a look at how we turn what a business does into something people actually want to watch.
WHY CHOOSE US
How we make films that earn their place
Story First, Camera Second
Everything starts with why. Why does this film need to exist, and what should someone feel at the end? The storyboard, the music and the questions all come before a single frame is shot. That is what separates a film from a montage.
The Human on Camera Is Everything
Most production companies think about the viewer. We think about the person in front of the lens first. Through our Real You Method, we settle the room and get someone feeling like themselves before we film, because when someone drops their guard, the real story comes through. It is a skill nobody else in our industry is talking about.
Film That Earns Its Budget
A film that sits unused is a video, not a film. So we build every film to work hard and keep working long after the camera is packed away. One shoot becomes a hero piece plus the cuts and photos you need to keep it in front of people. Film is an investment, not a cost you pay once.

Constantly breaking creative limits

THE REAL YOU METHOD
Before we film anything, we get to know you. We talk through what matters and how you want to come across, so by the time we arrive there is nothing to dread and no surprises waiting for you.
BEFORE THE CAMERA
On the day, we settle the room before we settle on a shot. No bright lights in your face the moment you sit down, no pressure to perform. We keep it feeling like a conversation, so you forget the camera is even there.
ON THE DAY
In the edit, we protect the real you. We keep the moments where you sounded most like yourself, not the most polished take, because that is what people actually trust and remember.
