Offbeat Voiceover Award Winners

The Story Of Film, an Odyssey.

Stanley Kubrick Award for Best Documentary 2012

One of our favourite voiceover recording projects was for The Story Of Film by Mark Cousins, for More 4 and Film 4.

Fifteen one-hour episodes later the film was released and achieved critical acclaim, including The Stanley Kubrick Award for best film in 2012 and a nomination for Best Documentary feature at Palm Springs awards in 2012.

The film has since been shown in cinemas worldwide and has been translated into many languages. The Telegraph headlined the film’s initial broadcast as a television series in September 2011 as the “cinematic event of the year”, describing it as “visually ensnaring and intellectually lithe, it’s at once a love letter to cinema, an unmissable masterclass, and a radical rewriting of movie history.”

We also recorded three separate interviews with Mark Cousins for Turner Classic Films in the States.
