We make our ownfilms and finishother people’s.Both live inone room.
Because we direct our own films, we understand what a director is protecting. Because we finish other people’s, we know how to carry that intent through to the master.
Odd Stick was founded in 2022 and works from London + Surrey across documentary, artist film and interactive media – as a production company on its own projects, and as a finishing house on everyone else’s.

Four rulesFeel first
We begin with the intention, mood and rhythm of the work before choosing the tools. Technology should follow the idea, never flatten it.
Translate between worlds
We move between artistic language and technical systems – turning gestures, atmosphere and analogue ideas into things that can be filmed, coded, projected or built.
Make, test, refine
Complex ideas become clearer through prototypes. We build early, test what works, then shape the final form around what the work actually needs.
Finish precisely
The smallest details matter at the end. Masters, versions, subtitles, documentation and technical delivery are treated with the same care as the creative work.
