Who Are We?
Who comes to your mind when you think of the top film and TV production company in the UK? If you didn’t say Simply Thrilled, let’s change that! At heart, we are passionate storytellers who put in the passion and graft to create amazing scripted and non-scripted content.

With a sound knowledge of classic story structure to the intangibles of the new media landscape, we love to dive in with new demanding projects.
Our Craft
Our film and tv production services cover all your unique requirements without skipping a beat. From creative development, scripting, casting and prep through to VFX and navigating the potential pitfalls of distribution. Let’s explore in-depth:
Creative Development
We’re all over this, between us we’ve read every book and been on every course worth its storytelling salt. We love this process so much we came up with our own 500+ element creative matrix breaking down every facet you can think of for each film and tv project. Basically, our creativity shapes raw ideas into fine - tuned narratives precision engineered to hit home with the intended audience.
Scripting
Once the creative treatment is ready, our writers craft compelling scripts which justify the hard work done in the first phase of film or TV video production. They combine nippy dialogue with flourishes of character which gives life to the script. From a TV pilot to a personal short film, our scripts align with your requirements and convey the message with finesse.
Storyboarding
This is the real blueprint of the film or TV project. Typically involving the director, producer, director of photography and other key players who sit down and carefully plan each scene’s visual journey to ensure a smooth narrative flow from start to finish. Our storyboards assist us in having a bird’s - eye view of the final product.
Casting
A film or TV idea can’t come to life if the right actors don’t perform their part. At Simply Thrilled, we take casting the right talent very seriously. Our casting directors select actors from a range of partner talent agencies which fit the role and understand the core ide a of the project. Or perhaps if we’re looking for fresh faces we might try street casting from unknown talent. Our casting process is thorough, which helps portray each character with authenticity on screen.
Filming (Production)
Our production team works with Hollywood - grade kit, which helps them combine their technical expertise with creativity to capture the story in all its glory. We focus on every detail, from the lighting to the composition. What’s the result? Each shot really nails its colours to the mast to help the overall vision land with the audience.
Editing (Post Production)
Editing is where we refine the project. Our editors wade through sometimes hundreds of hours of footage, combining it to tell the most effective story. And other specialists including colourists, sound designers, composers and visual effects artists make sure each pixel, shade, cue, note, transition, cut, and sound is crafted to create a seamless viewer experience.
Finishing (Mastering)
Never skip the polishing process! Our team adjusts colour grade, optimises the sound quality and makes sure the film will look and sound its best on any platform. This might involve making a DCP for theatrical distribution or road testing it on Tiktok in p ortrait mode. Either way, we ensure the audience has a top-of-the-range experience.
Distribution
We didn’t spend all this time just to have the project go dusty on a shelf! Getting the film or TV show in front of the right audience is as important as creating it in the first place. We strategise the best channels and platforms for distribution to help the content reach the eyeballs it was meant to reach. Whether through traditional media and film festivals or online platforms, our distribution plans are tailored to max - out exposure and impact. We’re partnered with a Hollywood distributor to help realise this aspect.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of film & TV projects do you produce?
Wecan help you with feature films, documentaries, TV shows (both scripted and non-scripted) and TV adverts (commercials). Our team has expertise in handling unique project requirements and they’re some of the most experienced players in the game.
What's the film production process like?
We start from understanding your idea and then our team turns it into a script. From there we get on with the production and editing to either deliver the final cut to you or work with you on distribution using our contacts in the industry.
How much does film & TV production cost in the UK?
The cost of a film & TV production depends upon your requirements. Televisual Magazine (an industry trade journal) puts the average cost of scripted drama productionat £600-£700k per hour, with tentpole shows such as Dr Who going in the range of single digit £ million per episode. At Simply Thrilled we’re more adept and experienced at working within the independent arena and have created feature film and TV projects within the mid-high 5 figure and low 6 figure budgets.
What are the benefits of working with a film & TV production company?
More than you can shake a stick at! You get a dedicated team with boatloads of experience. It also means keeping things on time and on budget and nailing down pesky details. Need a fire-breather to perform in a music hall? Our address book means we can sort that out pronto.
Do you offer any additional services?
Yes. We are your one-stop shop for all your creative production requirements. In the past 3 months alone we’ve managed bulk printing, booked online influencers and aired an advert on the first ad break of Coronation Street 2 days before Easter.
Do you own the rights to the final video?
This is usually negotiated at the early stages of the project, typically a production company will own the rights to the finished project (as per UK copyright law) but give others (broadcasters, clients, commissioners etc) the license to use it. But it’s all up for negotiation.
