Small Flame Films was created in January 2022 by Ngaio Anyia and Aodh Breathnach, long time friends, when they received a commission from Netflix through the New Documentary Talent Fund to create a short film. They chose the name to represent the types of stories they like to tell - giving a voice to the underdog and those who can be made voiceless by society.

Ngaio Anyia, director and original music composer for the short, comes from a background of journalism and EDI (equity, diversity and inclusion) as a consultant and trainer. Ngaio is passionate about making the entertainment industry one that gives space to multiple voices from different backgrounds. Her past credentials include presenting Monumental: Bristol After Colston for BBC World.

Aodh Breathnach, shooting producer, comes from a background of film and TV and is an expert at capturing delicate moments in beautiful ways. As a storyteller he has worked on productions such as Ambulance for BBC One, Sudden Death for BBC Three and One Shot: The Football Factory for Sky Originals.
