Thank you so much to Zac Ntim at Deadline for taking the time to sit down with us to discuss our venture into being the first feature film company to become a B Corp - something we are so proud to have become.
Lowkey has always been about ethical and value led filmmaking. Achieving B Corp status is something that we really hope, in our own little way, can encourage other companies to take the same steps to always create with sustainability at the forefront - both for people and the planet.

Lowkey Films is now a B Corp!
We are so proud to be alongside a wealth of other companies, brands and agencies making the commitment towards a more sustainable way of working - something we have prided ourselves on since our inception all those years ago.

Salvable - Trailer
We’re incredibly excited and proud to share the trailer for Salvable following Lionsgate’s US trailer hitting 1 million views in 2 weeks.
Salvable has been years in the making and marks the debut feature for Franklin and Marchetta, two directors that we started working with over 5 years ago in music videos. From the beginning with @bjornfranklin & @jmarchettafilm we loved and wanted to support their narrative approach to videos, picking up a number of UKMVA nominations in the process, always knowing that they were building towards their first narrative feature.
We’ve had some wild rides together over the years. We’ve cycled rickshaws down Kilburn High Road at 2am, turned @tombrittney into water and burned a house down (VFX, of course). Now in the coming weeks Lionsgate are releasing our feature together in the US.
Couldn’t be prouder of Franklin & Marchetta and looking forward to all that’s to come. A huge thanks also to our amazing co-producers on this @featuristicgroup
UK and worldwide release to be announced in the coming weeks. US release in cinemas and on demand 2nd May.

It’s been so beautiful reading the messages of those who have watched Kindling in the week since its release on the BBC.
The rollercoaster of this film has been like nothing I ever imagined. It’s been something so personal and to feel it connecting with people is a feeling I can’t really explain.
If you haven’t had a chance to watch it yet - it’s on iPlayer now! Is it a Christmas film?… I dunno… but it has a massive fire which I guess is slightly festive and might make the home feel warmer over the Christmas period…
All the love to the people who’s lives have been wrapped up in so many ways within the journey of making this film a reality @jamiegamache@jenniescott_ ♥️
Kindling - Coming to your TV screens in 🇬🇧

Kindling is coming to your home’s this Christmas!
Still pinching myself after the past week at Shanghai Film Festival 🤯
All the love to @wilsonmbomio@georgesomner & @markfoligno - it’s a pleasure to look like a hobbit beside you giants #siff
I cannot believe that Kindling is finally out there and into the world!
Thank you so so much to everyone who has watched Kindling so far over the past 24 hours. It feels beyond special to finally have this film out there after all of these years and to be able to share this story and my experience with others ♥️
Myself and @jamiegamache wanted to create this film to re-represent masculinity on screen and encourage people to talk about grief in a new way - a positive way.
If you choose to watch Kindling I would so LOVE to hear your thoughts and feelings about it.
Available NOW on Amazon, AppleTV, Sky Store, Google, Rakuten, Xbox & Select Cinemas in 🇬🇧 & 🇮🇪

Struggling to put into words how much last night meant to me.
@jamiegamache and I started to make films together in our back gardens over 10 years ago. For it all to culminate in last night, alongside the most incredible cast that anyone could ever hope to work with, was an out of this world dream.
To have my family there beside me after the 8 years of making this film was very special. @alexander__lincoln you’re the best for being Lowkey from day 1 and the most supporting friend & @robe_marsh@matt.evans_94 & @piers_campbell (& @jackyboyt94 MIA) are the DNA of the film.
Kindling is released in selected Cinemas and on all digital platforms (Amazon, AppleTV, Sky, Google etc) on Friday (21.04.23). I can’t wait for everyone to see what we have created together. We’ve partnered with @movember on the release in order to get the message out there that men should #knowthynuts and TALK TO EACH OTHER.
Dreaming. Also rambling. ♥️
