Films made with care, rooted in community.
Candy Arts makes documentaries, interviews, event films and promotional video for organisations, charities and community groups. We also deliver heritage and youth media projects.
What we offer
We handle the whole job: planning, filming, interviews, editing and delivery.
Our own documentaries cover Leicester and Leicestershire’s Black history and community life. We bring the same approach to client work: careful research, respectful interviews and people-first storytelling.
