We are Scotica,
an award-winning film production company telling stories about incredible people in amazing places. Circling above the Highlands' highest mountains by drone, paddling through our most beautiful rivers and lochs, abseiling from crags and trekking across remote and stunning wildernesses, Scotica captures on film our natural world like you've never seen it before. Let Scotica take you on a different journey.

Why Scotica?
Who we are
|
Scotica was founded in 2019 by filmmaker, nature-lover and general adventure fanatic Gregor D. Sinclair as an outlet for expressing a profound love for the outdoors, and bringing stories and brands to life through innovative and immersive video.
We are a network of videographers, cinematographers, drone operators, travellers, climbers and storytellers - all with an inexhaustible passion for what we do. Scotica filmmakers are guides through the medium of video. What unites us is a love of beautiful places across Scotland - not only are we the best at doing them justice on-screen, but we do so with a deep experience and knowledge, in a way which is both safe and respectful to those places. |
what we do
|
At Scotica, we're more than just cameras for hire.
We'll work with you though every stage of the creative process, from writing the initial brief, through all logistics, filming and editing, to distribution strategy and marketing. We create the very best Scotland has to offer in outdoor and aerial film - and we want to see it make an impact. A Scotica film isn't like any other film. It connects organisations and audiences by creating a whole world on-screen, an immersive storytelling experience, and brings us all into it. Whether you're a small business who loves big adventures, and are looking to take your brand to the next level, or an NGO with an incredible story to share with a nationwide audience, Scotica will bring your vision to life. We will take you and your audiences to new places - experience the world from new perspectives. |
what we stand for
|
In a time where more people than ever before are relying on our outdoors for their livelihoods or wellbeing, our outdoors in turn need us more than ever in the fight towards a more sustainable, less exploitative future.
These principles lie at the heart of everything Scotica does. From the projects we choose to considerations of our shoots' carbon and ecological footprints, to us the right path is the ethical path. We prioritise safety and wellbeing beyond all else - our bottom line is that shoots cannot be considered a success if anyone feels a threat to their physical, emotional or mental wellbeing. We risk-assess religiously and ensure all access and privacy rights are respected. We also offset all our projects’ emissions via a tree-planting scheme with Trees for Life, and operate shoots wherever possible on a zero-waste basis. |
