Curing Diabetes | Phaim

Crowdfunding film building awareness and increasing the funds needed to take diabetes research to the next level.

The next stage of diabetes research

Chocolate Films collaborated with Phaim on the fundraising film Curing Diabetes which focuses on type 1 diabetes. The goal was clear: to create an emotive film that convinces people watching to offer funding to the research. 

The video should have an impact on the audience and not only make them watch it from start to finish, but also inspire them to take action and support the research. We combined live-action footage with animated elements to keep people hooked. We wanted to both communicate important data about the disease and why research is needed, while at the same time showing the life of working in a lab. 

Video featuring contributors

The script included important data and scientific facts about the disease and the research that is and has been put into it. Our team collaborated closely with the client on the script. The client provided us with their knowledge and wrote the core of the script while our team used their expertise and turned the script into an impactful fundraising film. 

Our filmmakers filmed most of the footage in an actual lab featuring the contributors. It gave the film authenticity and reliability.

A friendly group of professional, talented film-makers who created some brilliant videos for us.

The entire process was slick and efficient from start to finish – I would definitely recommend Chocolate Films for any film project.

A very professional team with flexibility and great understanding of the craft. The pre-production was straight forward but the dedication from the team on the day to capture lots of high quality footage of the event was admirable.The final outcomes were well edited and the revisions process was painless and fast. I highly recommend Chocolate Films for event and interview videography.

Buttle UK worked with Chocolate Films to create an animated video to capture a co-produced report about estranged young people. We are absolutely amazed by the video they created for us! The team at Chocolate Films worked tirelessly to involve our young team, including an in-person workshop and an online one. It was lovely to see how they made it a fun learning experience during the workshops, while also working hard on the core purpose and outcome of the project. We really valued the expertise we received from the project manager, animators and voiceover experts. As they are a social enterprise, it’s clear that Chocolate Films have the kind of values we (a charity) really love. It shows in the beautiful film they created, and the way that they made it possible for us to work with them. We are so impressed and wholeheartedly recommend them without hesitation.
