Testimonials
"This collection of films highlights how vital it is to be open about our mental health especially in the early years of parenthood ...an amazing example to all parents that starting conversations and asking for support is a real source of strength."
The Duchess of Cambridge - launch event for "Out of the Blue" film
Katie Edwards - Fullscope collaboration
"Working with Boundary Pictures has been a joy - they successfully delivered everything I needed and more in a complex delivery environment, multiple school broadcasting! I've worked with a number of production companies, but Zan and Scott in Boundary understood what we needed on a deep level, and went above and beyond the boundaries (forgive the pun). Our delivery was successful as a result, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them."
Shane Carey - CEO and Founder, Reprezent
"I have just watched the film and it moved me to tears. Wouldn’t change a frame."
Paul Twivy - Social Entrepreneur, Big Lottery
"There’s a tremendous scene, filmed by Scott Radnor, when a TV reporter seems to be consumed by flame as she reports on the bacchae’s desert dances. Like all good productions of Euripides’s play, this one leaves you shaken and stirred."
