Our Story

Hakim Film Co. was born out of the desire to tell real and authentic stories from around the world, to celebrate truth, beauty, industry and the complex nature of human storytelling. It exists to make audiences dwell on stories that matter.

We are a video production company primarily focussing on documentaries and brand films, that partner with brands and individuals around the world who value authenticity, excellence, and craft, creating films with depth, honesty, and purpose. Told through the the timeless beauty of cinematic storytelling.

We believe great films are more than striking visuals; they are about connection. They create space for people, places, and ideas to be truly seen and felt in ways that linger long after the end of the video.

Our work begins with intention. We listen deeply, collaborate closely, and shape the story and message of each project with care. Built around a core creative team with strong experience in the documentary, commercial and music video space, and supported by a trusted network of filmmakers, editors, and creative specialists, we scale with precision to fit your needs. We build bespoke crews for each production, from small stripped back crews for intimate personal narratives to a complex, multi-team location shoots around the world.

Whether documenting a life, capturing the soul of a brand and the people behind it, or revealing the character of a place, our goal is to create work that feels human, considered, and worthy of remembrance. Stories that rise above trends, honour truth, celebrate good things, and hold a quiet, lasting weight that aims to inspire and bring an awareness to the stories we present.

We’re not here to add to the noise. We’re here to craft films that endure and that make you dwell on the story.

"Finally, whatever is true, whatever is honourable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable—if there is any moral excellence and if there is anything praiseworthy—dwell on these things."
— Philippians 4:8 (CSB)
