WELCOME TO STUDIO 9 FILMS
Founded by award-winning filmmaker Fiona Lloyd-Davies, Studio 9 Films specialises in unscripted feature-length documentaries and current affairs progammes about war, conflict and human rights. We bring to the screen stories of ordinary people who become exceptional when faced with the worst life can bring. We have worked with locally based teams from 2003 when Fiona collaborated with Iraqi blogger, Salam Pax to make the award wining series The Baghdad Blogger. We stay with people and places who are often left behind after the news agenda moves on and are fiercely proud of our commitment to these stories, enabling us to embed into communities with insight and deft sensitivity.
