Launched in 2025, Anima Entertainment is a home for immersive, empathetic storytelling across documentaries, branded films, audio, events and experimental art. Our work is driven by a deep belief in the power of human stories to shift perspectives and spark social and cultural change, creating cinematic, engaging entertainment that also raises awareness. Whether it’s a project shining a light on underrepresented communities, extraordinary human stories, conversations  around disability and mental health or exploring how culture and sport connects people, we always aim to make a lasting impact, reframing how we see the world.

As we grow, we’re expanding our branded and commercial work, collaborating with brands and partners who share our curiosity and ethos. These relationships allow us to keep pushing boundaries in our independent documentaries and original productions. For us, every story is more than a single film or campaign; it’s a chance to reach people wherever they are. To make our work as accessible as possible, every documentary we produce will also have an audio version and be part of an impact campaign, allowing people to experience our stories in ways that suit them.

ANIMA was originally conceived in 2021 with the documentary A Space in Time, a co-production with Salon Pictures directed by Riccardo Servini and Nick Taussig to raise awareness of Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. The film was backed by the BFI, released theatrically, and nominated for “Best Single Documentary” at the prestigious Grierson British Documentary Awards 2022.

Our most recent documentary Dwarf Story (2024), co-produced with Embankment Films, gave a platform to the dwarfism community to discuss the rising use of controversial treatments for children with achondroplasia, and how media representation has shaped societal views. A one-hour special aired on ITV in the UK, and the feature version premiered at the Odeon Luxe West End during the Little Venice Film Festival, winning three awards including Best Documentary and the Disability Experience Award. Its Australian premiere was at the Melbourne Documentary Film Festival, and it continues to collect accolades worldwide.

It is important to us that we are creating a like minded community and championing creatives with fresh, diverse perspectives, empowering them to experiment boldly while connecting deeply with audiences.
