About

What we do

Scotica is an award-winning production house, creating environmental, adventure and ethical films, in Scotland and all over the world.

We use film to tell stories about wild spaces, and form powerful bonds between organisations, the public and our natural landscape. Our vision is to become a leading voice in inspiring people to experience and protect wild spaces throughout the UK and beyond.

If we can nurture our bond with the natural world, we’re taking the first steps towards a fairer, happier and more sustainable society.

i.
Inspire through positivity

We want to capture the spirit of hope, community, and fun in order to show how outdoor experiences can bring people together and create a future for those from all walks of life. Positive stories like these inspire the best in us.

ii.
Champion the right causes

Our focus has always been and will always be on promoting, preserving and revitalising the incredible natural landscapes we’re privileged enough to have on our doorstep.

iii.
Respect rural places

Respecting rural places is a fundamental facet of the documentary work we produce at Scotica. We always work in a way which is sensitive to those most intimately connected with the land, its ecology and history.

iv.
Practise real sustainability

All Scotica’s shoots are designed to have the lowest possible environmental footprint. We minimise travel and offset through tree-planting; we tread lightly on our landscapes, ensuring there is no disturbance to local fauna and flora; and we are leading the way on becoming single-use-plastic-free.

v.
Safeguard wellbeing

Safeguarding the well-being of everyone who’s a part of our shoots is one of our most fundamental values. We make sure we’re doing everything we can to keep our cast, crew and clients safe – physically, mentally and emotionally.

Scotica can provide filmmaking talent on an individual basis, though our usual modus operandi is to carry projects from conception to evaluation, embedding our QA in every stage of the process. Our basic model is as follows:

  • i. Consultation on brief and budget
  • ii. Creative and financial proposal
  • iii. Formal supply of services agreement
  • iv. Virtual kick-off meeting
  • v. Pre-production and scheduling
  • vi. Production
  • vii. Post-production, mastering and distribution
  • viii. Project evaluation

Trees for Life

We’re serious about our impact on both our local Scottish Landscapes and the global environment. We plant trees with every project through Scottish Rewilding charity Trees For Life, providing native habitat restoration and carbon capture.
