FILM

Approaching Lines is Chris Nelson and Demi Taylor. We write good words and tell good stories well in film, in print, in person. Juxtapoz script The Ripple Effect Series written by Chris Nelson and Demi Taylor

What we do

We are the team behind the multi-award winning documentary The Big Sea, a film that broke the story of surfing’s links to Cancer Alley and the industry’s addiction to toxic Neoprene. It has been described as “The film that changed an industry,” by Ian Stewart, CMO of Xcel Wetsuits, as it helped usher in a new era of natural rubber products from sustainable supply chains, whilst also shining a light on the injustices of Cancer Alley in Louisiana.  

From ideation and development to writing pitches, scripts, series, brand films, interviews, short films, content, documentaries and feature films for creative agencies, award winning production companies, filmmakers and brands, we have a proven track record in delivering impactful, insightful story telling.

who we do it for

We’ve worked for the likes of Red Bull Media House, Hamblin Imagery, O’Neill and Koko to The National Trust, McKinsey & Company and Quantum Black. We also have a feature film script in funded development. We’re just as at home translating complex ideas about machine learning into compelling brand content as we are in telling the tales of youth culture pioneers though critically acclaimed films and award winning documentary series. It’s all about finding the story and bringing it to life.

how we do it

As experienced journalists our research is rigorous and our ability to tell a story from beginning to end means we ask the right questions that get the meaningful answers. We can turn around paper edits that weave in multiple voices and provide direction to VO artists on pace, tone and delivery… because sometimes it’s the pauses, and the moments in between that give words the space to resonate. 

A few of our favourites

People, places, pioneers.
