"A terrific documentary
about a woman artist's subversive battle against female age-ism. It is a
brilliant idea matched by an equally intelligent piece of filmmaking.
Every shot counts: every word matters, and every idea builds on the
previous one. Very watchable, and very amusing."
Review of ‘The
Invisible Woman’ by Charlie Phillips, editor of Channel 4's Four Docs.

"We presented Number 9
Productions with a tight deadline in which they were required to film at
various events across the country, in order to produce a DVD to showcase
the RAF's youth sports sponsorships. Leon was a pleasure to work with;
flexible to our ever-changing brief, attentive and providing creative
direction. We are extremely pleased with the DVD."
Lynda Barrow, Senior PR Manager, Central Office of Information.

"The Prince’s Trust has worked with Number 9
Productions on a number of film projects, especially relating to
capturing young people’s opinions and environments. Leon has a very
approachable and patient style with young people, putting them at ease
and enabling them to be as natural as possible on film. He also shows
attention to detail and persistence in achieving the desired message.
Last year we
commissioned Leon to make a film with ex-offenders from across the UK.
The quality of the preparation, content, film production and editing
were all excellent and we have continued to use the film in many
situations since, including national conferences and with Government
Ministers."
Peter Lister, Head
of Strategic Partnerships, Prince's Trust.

“Leon has been ‘beavering’ away
on our behalf, filming the various activities available, from which our
service users may choose. Today, we held the premier of his film and I cannot
stress too highly how well it was received by everyone here who saw it.
It is very obvious that Leon is a very talented man and had filmed, edited,
dubbed with amazing thought, skill and humour, resulting in a spellbinding
film.”
John Fuller, Director of Social and Caring Services, West Sussex Council.

“We needed a corporate video
that was to be viewed by a Europe-wide audience. Leon explained exactly what
would be involved, what those featuring in it would need to do, and
concentrated on completing it in good time. This was ideal for us as we were
able to focus on what we do best with minimal interruption to our day-to-day
business.
The service and final product far surpassed our hopes and needless to say, the
result went down very well. We will be sure to use Number 9 Productions again
when the need arises.”
Mike Robertson, Finance Director of a Global American Credit Card and
Finance Organisation.

"At Smart Audiences, we worked
with Number 9 Productions on a DVD production project for a client. They made
this a clear, simple and easy process throughout. They clearly explained the
various options available to us, enabling us to decide the best course of
action to take to ensure the happiness of our client.
Whatever requests we had during the making of the film, they had the equipment
and expertise to respond to with enthusiasm (and patience!), ensuring the
completed film looked good, was professional and informative, and,
importantly, met our clients needs.
As this was our first DVD production project, we felt in safe hands with
Number 9 Productions”.
Jacki Hall, Audience Research Officer, Smart Audiences

“Number 9 Productions worked with the regional development agency, Museums
Libraries and Archives South East (known formerly as SEMLAC) to produce the
DVD 'Every Child Matters...to Museums'. As part of a wider advocacy campaign
“Cracking Open Culture”, the DVD highlights how museums can contribute to the
Every Child Matters agenda and is aimed at a specific audience of LEA Advisers
and Head Teachers to use with their schools across the South East region.
Number 9 Productions conveyed and communicated these key messages succinctly
and in a creative way. They also ensured the film was made accessible to as
wide an audience as possible in accordance with the Disability Discrimination
Act. Number 9 Productions were easy to work with and demonstrated flexibility
to our amendments and timescales.
The DVD accompanies supporting written literature which is currently being
disseminated to LEAs across the region - thanks to Number 9 Productions for
their part in this process.”
Sarah Lewis, Creative & Cultural Entitlement Officer, SEMLAC

"Number 9 Productions have worked on films for TV Media that skilfully
managed to uphold our high standard for professional service and quality
output. In doing so, they have managed to spread this reputation to a wider
audience, for which I pass on my appreciation. I would like to be able to do
the same for them, and as such, they come highly recommended from us!"
Nick Green, Sales & Services Director, TV Media.
