Welcome to SW Productions, where your story takes centre stage through expertly crafted visuals. Whether you’re launching an exciting new campaign, showcasing a big event, or working on your brand awareness, we create content that sparks attention.
SW Productions was founded by Mark Sumner and Tom Waller, driven by a shared passion for storytelling, creativity, and making a positive impact.
Back in the summer of 2020, when the world slowed down, we finally had space to step back and ask ourselves what really mattered and how we wanted to use our skills. We’d both been working in video for years, but so much of the industry felt transactional, surface-level, and unsustainable. We knew we could do it differently.
For us, video has never just been about marketing. It’s about connection. It’s about giving a platform to unheard voices, inspiring action, and showing people what real change looks like.
So, in January 2021, we started SW Productions with one goal: to make films for people, brands, and organisations who are doing good things — and to do it with heart, creativity, and purpose.
Since then, we’ve filmed grassroots environmental campaigns, produced large-scale festival coverage, and worked with ethical businesses to grow their reach. Through it all, we’ve built a company that reflects who we are and what we stand for. One that values collaboration over ego, quality over quantity, and people over profit.
We believe powerful stories are built on honesty, creativity, and collaboration. By working sustainably, moving with agility, and always putting people first, we create meaningful content that inspires and connects

We care about who we create for
We work closely with mission-led organisations, ethical businesses, and community-driven projects, and we share the very same values as you.
We’re responsive, flexible, and invested
SW Productions is a tight-knit team, so when you work with us, you’re working directly with the experts, Tom and Mark. We put you at the centre of the project, picking your brains until we understand your story inside out and what makes it unique. Then we bring it to life, working with you from start to finish to make sure we get it right on point.
We focus on quality and value
Our shoots are planned with multi-platform use in mind, so you get more value, from cinematic brand docs to scroll-stopping social edits. And thanks to our effective workflow, you’ll get high-quality results delivered quickly.
Tom leads the creative side of SW Productions. With years of experience in editing, sound design, and motion graphics, he knows how to turn raw footage into content that grabs attention and delivers impact. Tom was also named a 30 Under 30 winner for his creative work, recognition that reflects not just his talent, but the way he approaches projects with originality and care.
Mark keeps the whole operation moving. He manages relationships with clients, produces each project from start to finish, and handles the day-to-day logistics, from scheduling shoots to keeping everything running behind the scenes. He’s also our primary certified drone operator and in-house photographer, often leading shoots on the ground and in the air. With a strong eye for storytelling and a calm, hands-on approach, Mark makes sure every production runs smoothly and delivers real impact.
At SW Productions, we’ve had the privilege of working across a wide range of industries, from sustainable brands and mission-led organisations to artists, festivals, and professional corporations. If you’ve got a story worth sharing or you need help getting an important message across, we’ll make it happen.
