About
A Manchester production team that takes the whole job.
ShortCut is a small, experienced video and podcast production company based in Manchester. We work with brands, organisations and creators across the UK — from automotive and energy to sport, fitness and charity.
Professional content made effortless.
Most teams don't want to manage a production. They want the film, the episode and the clips — without chasing three suppliers to get there. That's the job we do: creative, crew, shoot and post under one roof, with one person accountable.
Being small is the point. It keeps decisions fast, keeps senior people on set, and keeps budgets going into what ends up on screen.
For studio work we record at Empire Studios, our dedicated studio partner in Manchester — a separate business that also hires the space out by the hour.
How we work
Four things we don't compromise on.
Small team, senior people
The people you meet at the briefing are the people on set and in the edit. Nothing is handed down a chain.
Goal before gear
We start with what the content has to achieve and who it's for, then choose the format, crew and kit to match.
Effortless for you
Scheduling, contributors, locations, kit and delivery are our problem. Your team turns up and does its part.
Built to be reused
Every production is planned so one day of filming keeps producing content long after the shoot.
