Borderpoint Films
Borderpoint Films was established by filmmakers Dominic Rees-Roberts and Paul Cooke to create films, TV, animation, music promos and branded content.
Paul and Dom formed a creative partnership after meeting at Imperial College London. They have over 20 years of production experience between them, and their science backgrounds and training in documentary film-making gives them a unique voice with which to tell compelling, visually-arresting stories.
We make challenging and complex stories widely accessible and emotionally engaging. We give tricky subjects heart.
Our first major project under the Borderpoint Films banner is CATCH - a short drama film exploring the subject of antibiotic resistance through an emotive family narrative. CATCH was selected for more than 20 festivals on five continents, has featured at numerous science festivals, conventions and lectures, screened at The Science Museum in London, has appeared in print, online press, and in a peer-reviewed paper, and was selected by premium short film youtube channel Omeleto where it has garnered more than 350,000 views. A wider public engagement project - including a website, expert interviews and screenings - was created to publicise and expand upon the film.
Several more short film projects are currently in development.
We’d love to work with you. Say hello!
