WELCOME TO ON Y VA FILMS

Telling stories that move you, one step at a time

The Kickstarter is now live!

A Simple Act has been filmed over more than two years, following the restoration of Hardknott Forest through every season.

The film is now in its final stages of post-production, and I'm raising the remaining funds to complete the professional sound mix, music and final finishing.

If you'd like to help bring the film to audiences, I'd be incredibly grateful for your support.

Welcome to On Y Va Films. We create cinematic stories that linger, capturing life, art, and adventure in visually rich, emotionally resonant ways. From award-winning documentaries to immersive walking films, our work invites viewers to slow down, tune in, and connect.

  • Documentary Filmmaking

We specialise in compelling, character-driven documentaries that explore remarkable people, places, and ideas. Whether it’s the life of an overlooked artist or a deeper look into cultural or social themes, our films combine authenticity, beauty, and purpose — always with a sharp cinematic eye.

  • Walking Films

Our walking films offer a unique blend of meditative calm and visual storytelling. These journeys — through cities, landscapes, and hidden corners of the world — are carefully crafted to highlight composition, rhythm, and place, reflecting the sensibility of a filmmaker behind every frame.

  • Let’s Collaborate

Whether you're looking to document a personal story, highlight an artist’s journey, or create a tranquil visual experience, On Y Va Films brings deep craft and clear vision to every project.
