THE APPROACH

Real People.
Real moments.
Beautifully filmed.

I make documentary-style films about people and the things they care deeply about.

Not a corporate video.
Not staged testimonials.

The camera stays curious, observant and human - looking for the moments that reveal what’s really happening.

TOBY SILLENCE

I'm Toby.

I've spent 25 years creating imagery for brands including Apple and Dyson. I also created Cool to Be Conscious, an independent documentary exploring what it means to wake up and live differently.Human Story Studio brings those two worlds together:
a commercial eye, documentary curiosity, and a fascination with people and what matters to them.

WORK WITH ME

Have a story
worth telling?

You don't need to arrive with a finished brief.If you think there might be a story in what you're doing,
I'd love to hear about it.
