COVID CHRONICLES

During the coronavirus lockdown, we’ve been looking for stories which transcend the gloomy news cycle and portray how people are positively tackling Covid-19 across the globe – from doctors and nurses on the front lines to volunteers and artists.

Working from a makeshift production hub in London, we’ve collaborated with more than a dozen colleagues in the UK, Hungary, Indonesia, France and Germany, who gathered footage to be edited “in house” (literally!) following careful pre-production to minimize health risks.

We also designed our own pretend dating app for a story about lockdown love for the BBC.

Our work was recently featured by the Pulitzer Center in a story for their “Speaking Out on Coronavirus” series.
