Are you ready for the digital conversation?

Theatres are adapting to new ways of reaching audiences in exciting and engaging ways.

Yet not all theatres have experience in digital storytelling to be able to successfully grow and connect to their audience online. It’s not just about the live space anymore, there is a new audience. And that audience is beyond the lens.

Mann Bros. are here to provide digital solutions to all your digital questions - we have years of experience producing film for Theatre, including trailers, promotional content and full show coverage for both West End and fringe productions. Run by 2 brothers, we pride ourselves on taking projects from concept to delivery as a full service production company. We do it all.

How can your project translate to the screen?

Mann Bros. offer an innovative and cinematic approach to translate your work to the screen.

Whether it be a full scale production, a conceptual piece of work or coverage at the development stage, we understand the need to showcase your content on a digital platform - and showcase it well.

We want to honour the work you’re creating with the highest possible capture - what is seen on screen should reflect your production and nothing less. Our broadcast quality cameras will ensure that nothing is lost in translation - and better yet, we’ll make your work cinema-worthy.

Mann Bros. are second to none at turning a page of ideas into a story board and taking on notes at the editing stage to reach the perfect final product. I would highly recommend.

What could your project look like on screen?

With world-class connection capability, Mann Bros. can help you deliver your show to a live audience like never before.

We value what it means for your work to be appreciated live, immediate and engaging - nothing should be lost in translation. Let’s connect your online audience to every moment so nothing is missed.

Mann Bros. were a dream team to collaborate with. They understood my artistic vision with great depth and sensitivity, and added their own cinematic flair. The results of our short films went beyond my expectations and I wholeheartedly recommend and endorse their work.

what happens in post-production?

All our content is post-produced in-house at our bespoke studio in North London. Mann Bros. oversees every project from concept to delivery, meaning a consistent workflow from start to finish.

Every part of the process is just as important as the rest. We want to work with you through post-production to ensure your project is the very best it can be.

I had the privilege of working with Mann Bros. recently on a music video shoot, and they not only created a COVID-safe working environment in the studio, but also made the entire creative process both enjoyable and exploratory from the preparation all the way to the moment we wrapped.

who do we collaborate with?

Mann Bros. always surpass themselves bringing my vision to life, and most importantly guiding, shaping and elevating it with their own expertise. The end results are always very high-end, from the filmic style they bring to the table, to the edit to the special effects they utilise. Mann Bros. are my 'go to' guys.

I’m really looking forward to our future work together.

Working on Cabaret de Rien with Mann Bros was an exercise in professionalism and artistry. Not only had they understood and embraced the theatrical vision, their collaboration on the piece elevated it and its potential meaning that when it came to filming I could relax entirely knowing it was in good hands and focus on the performance.
