Production support with business affairs built in
Stilllight Pictures combines creative production experience with in-house business affairs support. We understand that successful productions rely not only on strong creative execution but also on clear rights, contracts, permissions, funding documentation and production administration.
We can support producers with chain of title, rights tracking, option and writer documentation, crew paperwork, co-production materials, investor packs, funding submissions and general production administration. Where formal legal advice is required, we work with qualified legal professionals.
Clear paperwork. Cleaner production. Fewer surprises.

Production, not just production services
Alongside our production services work, Stilllight Pictures develops and produces its own slate of film, television and documentary projects. This means we understand production from both sides: as creators building original IP and as a practical production partner helping others bring their projects to the region.
Our work is rooted in emotionally grounded, cinematic storytelling, with projects spanning feature film, short film, documentary and television drama.
Original film, television and documentary development from Liverpool.
Research & historical consultancy
Stilllight Pictures can support productions with research-led development, historical context, archive exploration and place-based storytelling.
Our work spans drama, documentary and historically grounded projects, with particular experience in military history, social history, regional identity and character-led factual storytelling.
Useful for documentary, factual, drama, historical and archive-led productions.
Hair, makeup and prosthetics
Most production services companies will help you find a makeup department. Stilllight can be one.
Our HOD Hair & Makeup has twenty-five years in the industry, covering everything from clean beauty and continuity through to SFX, prosthetics, casualty and period work. That includes barbering, which matters more than most productions expect: a period drama with modern haircuts is a period drama nobody believes.
For productions coming into the North West, it removes a line from the budget that usually reads as travel and accommodation for someone brought up from London.
Beauty, continuity, SFX, prosthetics and period work, in-house.
