We produce films across the globe from ads and brand content to advocacy and documentaries, collaborating with international clients and organizations to craft stories that resonate, inspire, and drive meaningful change.
With deep expertise across the African continent and strong experience in Europe, we combine local insight with a global perspective. Our work spans all five continents, across more than 50 countries, and through our global network of trusted creatives, we build tailored, locally grounded productions wherever they are needed.
We work across the full spectrum of production — as producers, co-producers, directors, and fixers — adapting to each project with flexibility, creativity, and high production standards.
At the heart of our work is a simple belief: storytelling has the power to shape a better world. We partner with changemakers, NGOs, institutions, and purpose-driven brands to document initiatives and amplify voices that contribute to social, environmental, and political change.
That’s why we are committed to ethical practices, reducing our environmental impact, and ensuring fair and respectful collaboration with everyone we work with. Guided by a strong ethical framework, we strive to create content that is both meaningful and responsible.
From the conceptualisation of an idea to the delivery of a final product - we work closely with our clients in order to create the most compelling visual content.
We believe how we produce matters just as much as what we produce.
CO-CREATION
At each stage of production we involve all our partners, on and off the ground, in the creation process in order to shape together the stories we want to tell.
EMPATHY
Through compassion and mutual understanding we believe in our shared humanity. The men and women on the ground fostering change hold a central place in our work.
LOCAL
A local person understand a situation and its complexities a lot better. By partnering with local teams we reduce our ecological footprint and play a role in economic development. We combine our expertise and learn from each other in this collaborative process.
Oliver Petrie and Yann Macherez met in November 2017 in Zimbabwe, where they were both covering the fall of Robert Mugabe. After a week of working side by side in the field, a shared vision quickly emerged. A few months later, Momentum Production was born.
​
Since then, they have been producing films for international organisations across Africa, Asia, and Europe — building a production company rooted in storytelling, collaboration, and purpose.
