Pioneers in Social-Impact Storytelling through VR, AR, and Film

East City Films, led by Ashley Cowan and Darren Emerson, is a trailblazer in creating meaningful and transformative narratives. Specialising in award-winning Virtual Reality documentaries, 360-degree video production, and Augmented Reality experiences, we are dedicated to sharing the stories that matter most.

Our portfolio extends to 360° video production, branded content, TV shows, and music videos. Our diversified approach allows us to collaborate with a wide array of partners including bands, brands, charities, media agencies, and broadcasters.

Leading VR Documentary Makers in Europe

East City Films stands out as one of Europe's premier VR documentary producers and a leading Virtual Reality production studio in London. Our immersive content, often directed by co-founder Darren Emerson, addresses critical social issues like social justice, human rights, and well-being. Our work has been showcased and honored at prestigious film festivals worldwide, such as Cannes, SXSW, IDFA, Sheffield Doc Fest, Venice, and Tribeca.

Museums, Galleries and Arts Venues

East City Films has proudly showcased its innovative work at prestigious museums, including the Illinois Holocaust Museum, and at a variety of galleries and arts venues around the globe, demonstrating our commitment to bringing impactful and immersive experiences to diverse audiences.

Comprehensive 360° Video Services

Beyond our VR and AR productions, we're also a leading 360° video company. Our 360 films have been featured on platforms like MTV, ITV, BBC, and the National Theatre, and we've produced immersive experiences compatible with Meta Quest, Vive Pro and Google Cardboard.

Global Impact through Storytelling

While our focus remains on immersive storytelling, our commitment to social impact extends beyond. We've produced HIV-awareness documentaries across Nigeria, Portugal, and India, and created compelling narratives against human trafficking in Southeast Asia featuring Jason Mraz.

From the initial brainstorming to the final cut, we are hands-on throughout the entire production lifecycle. Our 8K post-production suite and top-of-the-line equipment ensure every project maximises its budget and impact.
