Who We Are
A Common Story is an independent film and photography studio based in Edinburgh, Scotland. We create documentary, commercial and editorial films, photography and digital content for charities, organisations, artists and brands.
Our work ranges from documentary filmmaking and branded storytelling to events, live performance, portraits and social content, with a focus on real people and human stories.
Carlos Hernan is a creative director, cinematographer, photographer and editor, based in Edinburgh, originally from Barcelona.
Helena Gregory is a creative director, photographer, Camera operator, graphic designer and VFX trainee.
We work with a pool of Edinburgh based freelancers to keep our operations local and to grow or contract depending on the scale of the project. Easily we can become a full crew and create a tv advert, or a documentary style brand-video.
