A Video Company That Cares
Wildwood Media is an independent video production company based in Maidstone, Kent, creating professional film, photography and media content for organisations across Kent, London and throughout the UK.
Founded in 2014 by filmmaker Chris Newberry, Wildwood has grown from a small production company into an experienced creative team producing content for businesses, NHS and healthcare organisations, schools, charities, public-sector clients, marketing agencies and organisations across the country.
We provide the creativity and production capability you'd expect from a video production agency, while keeping the personal, flexible approach of an independent team.
Whether we're providing video production in Kent, filming a project in London or managing a nationwide production across several locations, our aim is simple:
Create great work, make the production enjoyable and deliver content that genuinely works for our clients.
OUR STORY
Wildwood Media was founded in Maidstone in 2014 by Managing Director and filmmaker Chris Newberry.
Before starting Wildwood, Chris had already spent 16 years working professionally in film and video production, including extensive experience producing content with the emergency services and public sector.
The idea behind Wildwood was never simply to create another video production company.
It was to build the kind of production company we'd want to hire ourselves: experienced, creative and professional, but also approachable, flexible and genuinely enjoyable to work with.
Since then, Wildwood has produced films for organisations of every size, from local businesses and schools to national companies, NHS organisations, charities, public bodies and major creative agencies.
Today our crews provide video production in Maidstone, across Kent, throughout London and nationwide, while our wider Wildwood network also gives us dedicated production coverage in the Midlands.
A Message From Our Managing Director
I started Wildwood Media in 2014 after 16 years working in the film and video production industry.
More than a decade later, I couldn't be prouder of what we've built.
I've always believed that producing brilliant work is only part of what makes a good production company. The people you spend the filming day with matter too.
That's why I've carefully built a team where personality is every bit as important as talent.
Our productions are relaxed and enjoyable. We'll make people feel comfortable in front of the camera and we'll always try to be as flexible as possible.
But we always take your project seriously.
We want to create video and photography that you're genuinely excited to use and that delivers something useful for your organisation.
Our advice and quotations are free, so if you want to talk about a project, you're welcome to contact me directly. You won't get a hard sell — just an honest conversation about what you're trying to achieve and how we might be able to help.

Why Clients Choose Wildwood Media
There are plenty of talented filmmakers and video production companies in Kent and London.
We think choosing the right production team comes down to more than cameras and showreels.
Our clients come back to Wildwood because we combine experienced filmmaking with a straightforward, collaborative way of working.
We take time to understand why you're making the video, who needs to see it and what you want them to do afterwards. From there, we'll recommend the production approach that makes sense rather than trying to make the project unnecessarily complicated.
We're comfortable working directly with business owners, marketing teams, NHS staff, teachers, pupils, patients, senior executives, members of the public and people who may never have been filmed before.
Making people comfortable is part of the job.
And whether we're supplying one videographer in Kent, a London camera crew or a complete multi-location UK video production, the same approach applies.
Experienced Filmmakers, Not Just People With Cameras
Professional videography is about far more than owning good equipment.
Storytelling, interviewing, lighting, sound, composition, editing and knowing how to make contributors feel comfortable all play a part in creating an effective film.
Our team includes experienced filmmakers, camera operators, editors, photographers and creative specialists who understand both the technical and human sides of production.
Wildwood Media can manage a project from the earliest idea through pre-production, filming, editing, animation, graphics and final delivery.
We can also work alongside your existing marketing department or creative agency, or provide white-label production support as part of another agency's team.
That flexibility means you can use Wildwood as a full-service video production agency or bring us in for the part of production where you need additional expertise.
Video Production in Kent, London & Across the UK
Wildwood Media began in Kent and it remains at the heart of our business, but we now film around the world, with bases in Kent, London and The Midlands.
From our Maidstone base, we provide professional video production throughout Kent, including Maidstone, Medway, Canterbury, Ashford, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells and the wider South East.
If you're looking for an experienced videographer in Maidstone, a videographer or a full-service production team in Kent, London, the Midlands, or Nationwide, we're ideally placed to support projects throughout the county.
We also provide extensive video production in London, working across Central London, the City, South London and Greater London.
And although Kent and London are particularly important to us, Wildwood is very much a UK video production company, with our Midland's based team - and with more to come - we're able to assit clients across the UK as quick as they need us. We also work internationally, with recent projects taking us to Barcelona and Belgium.
Our crews regularly travel nationwide for projects involving several offices, sites, schools, hospitals, events or locations.
Kent & the Midlands are home. London is on our doorstep. The UK is our workplace.
Experience Across Different Sectors
One of the advantages of working with Wildwood Media is the breadth of environments our team understands.
We've produced professional media content for businesses, NHS and healthcare organisations, schools and education, charities, public-sector organisations, construction, tourism, events and creative agencies.
That experience matters because filming in a hospital is very different from filming in a school, and interviewing a chief executive requires a different approach from filming pupils, patients or members of the public.
Our work includes corporate and promotional video, recruitment, training and e-learning, social media content, conferences and live streaming, drone filming, charity storytelling, school videography, commercial photography and wider media creation.
For education clients, we also provide professional school photography and school video production, while our growing photography service supports businesses and organisations looking for professional commercial photography in Kent and London.
Rather than trying to turn every project into the same style of film, we adapt the production to the organisation, audience and people involved.
Video and Photography Under One Roof
Wildwood Media has grown beyond traditional video production.
Alongside professional filmmaking, we now provide commercial photography in Kent, London and across the UK, helping organisations create both still and moving content through one production partner.
That can include business photography, staff headshots, corporate events, construction, healthcare, tourism, school photography and wider promotional content.
Where it makes sense, photography and video can also be planned together.
One production day might create your main promotional film alongside staff interviews, social media video, professional photographs and other visual assets.
For marketing teams, that can mean more useful content without organising several completely separate shoots.
The Wildwood Family
Wildwood Media has also developed specialist areas of the business around sectors and services where our team has particular experience.
Healthcare Films by Wildwood focuses specifically on professional film production for NHS and healthcare organisations.
Wildwood Live provides professional live streaming and event production.
Wildwood Films is our narrative filmmaking division, including our work developing and producing independent film projects.
And Wildwood Midlands provides dedicated video production coverage throughout Northamptonshire and the wider Midlands.
Together, these specialist areas allow Wildwood to retain the personality and flexibility of an independent production company while supporting a much wider range of productions across the UK.
We Want the Production to Be Enjoyable Too
Most of our clients aren't professional actors.
Quite often, they're people who would rather be almost anywhere other than standing in front of a camera.
That's why creating a relaxed environment matters.
We'll explain what's going to happen, avoid unnecessary jargon and help contributors through the filming rather than simply pointing a camera at them and expecting a performance.
We want people to finish a Wildwood production saying two things:
“The film looks fantastic.”
and
“That was actually really enjoyable.”
Both matter to us.
Telling Powerful Stories Through Compelling Video
Your customers love a good story.
How do we know? It’s how our brains are wired. We can’t resist a story that engages and enlightens us.
That’s why Wildwood Media harnesses the power of story to captivate your audience with effective video that clearly communicates your brand values and personality.
We’re all about the balance
With more than two decades working in the film
industry our team know how easily a good film can be
ruined by clunky effects or corny ‘emotion’.
When a film doesn’t feel believable, we switch off.
And you can’t afford that when it’s your brand reputation on the line. That’s why we use exactly the right balance of visual effects and select music that enhances impact - but never overwhelms.
A Video Production Company That Cares About the Result
A beautiful film that doesn't achieve anything isn't particularly useful.
Before production begins, we want to understand what success looks like for you.
Maybe you need more customers.
Perhaps you're trying to recruit staff.
You might need to explain something complicated, raise awareness, train employees, attract pupils, demonstrate impact or give people a reason to support your organisation.
Whatever the objective, the production should be built around it.
That is why our work starts with the audience and the message rather than the equipment.
Professional filmmaking should look great.
But ultimately, the video has a job to do.
