Curiosity and compassion

About Hearth

Hearth came about as a vehicle for documenting the passion of people who have a vision to change the world in ways big and small. Scientific advancements, technological innovation, simple everyday actions to solve problems and help others - at their core, these are stories of curiosity and compassion. If you look around, they are everywhere, and they are what make the world a beautiful and vibrant place…

…Hearth uses the tools of filmmaking, photography and art to light up these stories, and make them shine.

Sit by the fire and tell your story.

I’m Izzy Haines, an artist and filmmaker from Bristol.

As a film-enthusiast, I’ve found myself in countless creative roles behind the scenes and in front of the camera for over a decade. Subsequently, a company with multi-media capability was born. I’ve had training and professional experience in the fields of screenwriting, acting, special effects hair & makeup, illustration and animation (to name a few), and in recent years I’ve been working as a freelance solo production house for science & tech companies, Universities and multi-million pound programmes.

I dreamed of Hearth as a space to hold the magic of people’s lives in a warm spotlight, offer tools for their promotional needs and creative visions, and to foster a loving platform for artists and filmmakers (including myself) to share their art.
