The Monitor

Paper Films produced a series of intelligent mini-documentaries for Ocean Media Group’s Housing2025 Conference at Manchester Central. This flagship event brought together leading figures from the housing sector, including policymakers, industry professionals, journalists, and thought leaders. Over three days in Manchester and London, we conducted in-depth interviews in our pop-up green-screen studio, capturing attendees’ insights on the most pressing issues facing the sector. These interviews were then edited into five 10-minute documentaries that explored key challenges in housing today. The films were hosted on a dedicated Monitor microsite and widely shared across social media, providing the conference with a lasting digital asset to continue the conversation well beyond the event. We worked with Emma Henbe at Henbe Communications to produce this project.

“We loved working with Paper Films. We presented them with a tough brief – and an even tougher deadline. They just got what we needed straight away. The whole marketing team was really impressed by the creativity, energy and can-do attitude they brought to our really ambitious project. They absolutely nailed what we had imagined at the outset and we are thrilled with the end result!”

“We were delighted with their professional and no-nonsense approach which matched their creativity. We briefed them on a Monday morning via Zoom and they came back to us with a script in a few days which after a bit of tweaking was really succinct and hit the right tone of voice for our clients.”
