What our client said
“Red Hat Films were great to work with on our Jump Rope for Heart Outreach Program DVD. They were culturally appropriate in all aspects of the project and able to build rapport easily with students and staff at the school. This resulted in the entire process feeling like a small community when filming.
Red Hat were very flexible and committed to delivering the best possible product for us. Sarah was always approachable and in regular contact with us.
The final product is emotional, fun and engaging. It represents the Heart Foundation’s values and vision for the project. The DVD impressed everyone involved and meets the needs of our intended viewers.
I would highly recommend Red Hat Films for any future project.”
