What Rise Productions does

Rise Productions is a privately held UK-based creative video production agency, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Birmingham, with additional offices in Bristol, London and Manchester. The company produces cinematic video content for brands, operating a fully in-house production pipeline that spans creative development, scripting, location scouting, filming with cinema-grade equipment, and post-production including editing, colour grading, sound design and motion graphics. Its service offering is organised into five vertical specialisations — Corporate, Event, Hospitality, Education and Manufacturing videography — supplemented by brand films, campaign films, social-first short-form content, animation, and professional photography.

The business operates on a project-based, one-time engagement model with no disclosed recurring subscriptions. Pricing is quoted per project after a consultative scoping conversation and spans a wide range: corporate videos typically £2,500–£6,000, brand story films £3,000–£50,000, explainer videos from £4,000, and TV ad production £10,000–£1,000,000. Go-to-market is direct and consultative, primarily via the company website, organic search, and social-first content marketing, with named clients including Bullring, Fenwick, Vision Express, Zambrero, CNM and others across retail, fashion, education, hospitality and business services. Delivery is supported by a trusted freelance crew network that allows the firm to scale for larger shoots and travel nationally and internationally for global brand campaigns.

Operationally, the company is a micro-entity with a stated core team of two (co-founders SanJ and Ed) plus a flexible crew network, with stated scale metrics of 1,000+ projects completed, 300+ videos produced and 2,000,000+ cumulative views. No external funding, acquisitions, patents, AI/ML capabilities or executive leadership beyond the two founders are disclosed in the available data.
