Spinnaker Productions produces images and words that speak to who we are, where we have been and who we aspire to become. For example, research is communicated in words — as well as images — crafted to leave an impression on decision makers, others concerned with similar issues or to give voice to those who otherwise struggle to be heard. An image can evoke an emotion that puts us in touch with who we are, what is important in our lives — what we care about.
Whether it be through film, a powerful and effective speech or presentation, a picture worthy of publishing or hanging, images and words play important roles in who we are, who we wish to be and the messages we want to leave with others. A spinnaker is a large, billowing sail, often used in difficult winds and conditions, intended to move the boat along. Spinnaker Productions is about ‘moving things along’ with words and images that speak to who we are and where we want to go.
