About
Rough Cut Media:
Your Story, Told Better.
At Rough Cut Media, we believe every charity has a powerful story to tell. And we’re here to help you tell it.
For over two decades, our founder Nick Skinner – a BAFTA-winning storyteller – has been capturing authentic human experiences for the BBC and, more recently, for leading charities and non-profits.
We are not just filmmakers; we are coaches and partners dedicated to empowering your organisation by creating compelling, high-quality video content that drives real-world impact. We offer a tailored approach to fit your needs, resources, and mission.
Our Services
Bespoke Film-making
When you need a professionally crafted film for a major campaign, fundraising appeal, or brand launch, we are ready to help. We’ll work with you from concept to completion, handling every step of the filmmaking process to produce a powerful, cinematic story that resonates with your audience.
Film-making Courses
Your most powerful storytelling tool is already in your pocket. Our practical, hands-on courses teach you and your team how to plan, film, and edit compelling video content using just a smartphone and simple, free tools. We offer bespoke training, as well as our regular courses.
Ethical AI Video
Some of the most important work charities do is the hardest to show. Our courses on ethical AI video enable you to tell powerful, sensitive stories without filming real people. Learn to create emotionally resonant videos using AI avatars, voice cloning, and AI-generated footage, ensuring you can show the truth of your work while protecting vulnerable individuals and maintaining dignity.
