FOUNDERS ROB & TOM

ROB OLIVER

With an impressive portfolio of work to his credit, including his latest films for Net A porter as well as spots for Hitachi, Loreal, Carling, Elle, GQ and Amex. Over the last five years and since setting up COOLBOX films, Rob has been directing and producing a combination of PR, Marketing and social media campaigns for the likes of Microsoft, Sainsbury’s, Disney and Odeon.

“For me, directing incorporates all the things I am interested in.  It’s about looking around you, getting inspired, creating and making things. I love the constant stimulation. It doesn’t matter what I’m creating as long as you’re engaged and entertained – then I have succeeded in my job, and that brings a smile to my face.”

TOM BAINTON

Writing, directing and producing films for 20 years, and has a diverse and rich catalogue of films to his credit: music videos screened on MTV as well as award-winning shorts screened at the Cannes Film Festival.

As well as a long history of providing innovative and creative corporate work for blue chip clients, he also has great experience in working on research and insights films, developing Add Video – a video capture app for smartphones that enables participants to upload film and photos quickly, simply and securely.

“I love film for the way it draws together everything that drives me – music, writing and photography – as well as telling a damn good story.”

OUR PHILOSOPHY

At Coolbox, we believe that film is more than just digital wind, visual landfill – ‘meh’. The world is awash in moving images – when we turn from big screen to the small ones in our hands we are confronted with a billion dancing pixels all demanding our attention.

It’s a competitive field. If you want to play on it then it’s worth signing the best team.

We have a combined experience of over forty years in producing a range of films, from documentaries and short films to commercials and corporate communications, picking up some awards along the way. We’ve stayed in business because there are some truths we still hold to be self-evident:

It’s not about us, it’s about you and your stakeholders – and so we listen and make sure we answer the brief.

It’s finished when it’s finished. We want you to be delighted, and we won’t stop until that happens. It’s always worth going the extra mile. You get results when you stand out, and you stand out through outstanding quality.

We’re able to produce quality work time and time again because our experience has given us an understanding and intuition for what will work for you. Our creative ideas and instincts, our quality of thought, the tiny micro-decisions that inform every film we produce all mean that we deliver work that doesn’t just meet client’s expectations, it exceeds them.

In short, we’ve got good taste.
