With a reputation for discovering and nurturing new talent, HLA has introduced the world of moving images to some of its most celebrated directors. We’re involved in every aspect of filmmaking from music videos and TV commercials to shorts, features, video installations, documentaries, interactive projects and online content. With our dedication to creating beautifully crafted films, it is no surprise that HLA has a multi-award winning history. With nearly thirty years under our belt, we have won numerous awards including Gold British Arrows, D&AD yellow and gold Pencils, craft and design awards as well as the prestigious Grand Piz at Cannes. Craft and innovative storytelling is at the heart of every project; we’ve filled the streets of Miami with 1 million litres of foam, broadcast live from 18 different locations worldwide all in 60 seconds, filmed the longest single shot film at 6 and half minutes and followed a bottle of hot pepper sauce from the Caribbean to rural China. The variety of our work is a result of the rich cross-section of filmmakers we represent and with a current portfolio of directors who are at the top of their profession we are one of the first-choice production companies for ad agencies around the globe. We’ve worked alongside global clients the likes of Sony, Land Rover, Eurostar, Honda, and Virgin. Founded in 1987, HLA is proud to be one of London’s longest standing production companies. HLA’s current and past projects include Simon Ratigan’s “Vicar and Imam” - Amazon Prime, “The Walk” Johnnie Walker Jamie Rafin, John Hardwick’s “Moment in Doubt” drink driving awareness and Tom Merilion’s “Moon” – Quaker Oats featuring Buzz Aldrin.
