FishTale Films was established in 2026 by James Giles and Lila Allen, documentary filmmakers and journalists with over 20 years’ experience creating and directing prime-time films for independent production companies and leading broadcasters, including the BBC and ITV.

Story has always been at the heart of our work. It is the thread that runs through every project we take on, and your story is what we really want to talk to you about.

Finding out who you are, what makes you tick and what you have to say is why we’re here. Whether you’re a business, a brand, a charity, a cause or an individual, you have a story.

We want to help you tell it through films that not only look cinematic but also get your message out. Harnessing the rigour of documentary film-making, we research and most importantly listen, uncovering stories of real substance, shaping them with intelligence, emotion and care.

It’s a noisy world out there, but through decades of experience we have the know-how to cut through.

Story is what we’re all about: we can’t wait to meet you and find out yours.
