Candid Films was founded by Jo Austin — an independent screen producer, director and production manager with a decade of experience across documentary, branded entertainment and major commercial campaigns.
Candid's work has been recognised with Cannes Lions, Spikes Asia and Effie awards, and has since grown into a studio known for its entertainment slate, developing original broadcast and film projects alongside its client work.
As a factual director and filmmaker, Jo established Candid’s Signature projects to offer organisations cinematic storytelling that elevates internal and B2B communications beyond traditional corporate content.
With deep industry knowledge and strong digital and social expertise, Jo leads Candid Films across projects that span platforms — and, most importantly, genuinely connect with audiences.
