Stories People Feel
North Star Films
Stories that let people feel why your organisation exists
Built around one person inside your organisation: the one who carries the reason it exists, told so that someone outside can understand what holds the work together.
Stories of Change
Stories that show your impact through the life of one person
Built around one person your work changed. Their life is different now, and the film stays close enough to that difference for a viewer to feel it.
Narrative Partnership
Lead your communication with human stories, all year long
A year-long collaboration for organisations that want to stop starting from scratch. One partner who knows your mission, your context, and your people.

A small Romanian village proving that prevention works better when it aligns with how people actually live, not how researchers think they should behave. Community engagement rooted in simplicity can produce effortless behaviour change.
// Philosophy
Why Story?
- Thoughtful. I take time to understand deeply before I create.
- Grounded. No hype, no fluff. Clear, realistic, trustworthy.
- Personal. Real people and lived experiences, not abstractions.
- Care. Genuinely invested in the people and outcomes.
- Effective. The work should make a real difference.

What People Say
Lars has an incredible ability to capture the essence of a story. His work brought our campaign to life in ways we couldn't have imagined.
Working with Shift was an absolute joy. Lars understood our vision immediately and translated it into a film that truly resonates with our audience.
The documentary Lars created for The Shift was a game-changer. It helped us communicate our complex message in a way that's both accessible and deeply moving.
