About us
Really Good Films was founded by Jackie Ball and Mark Woods, two filmmakers with complementary skills and a shared belief in the power of a great story delivered in emotional shorts.
We bring together creative thinking, journalism, filmmaking and decades of broadcast and production experience. We’re hands-on, from finding the first idea to shaping the final edit.
Jackie Ball
Creative Director & Co-Founder
Jackie ran the factual film team at Comic Relief for over 20 years, overseeing all aspects of production of films on BBC ONE and latterly Red Nose Day USA on NBC, raising tens of millions of pounds. She’s also produced and consulted on many films for a range of global clients.
Mark Woods
Creative Director & Co-Founder
After starting life as a news wire journalist, Mark worked in communications at ITV before becoming Head of Creative and Social Media Content at Comic Relief. Mark is also a bestselling parenting author, with titles translated into multiple languages.
Working together
Between us, we’ve spent decades telling stories, working with everyone from major international organisations and household names to people who have never appeared in front of a camera before.
We’ve built a trusted network of production talent around the world, allowing us to bring together the right people and skills for each project while retaining the same personal creative involvement.
We believe in supporting emerging filmmakers, building diverse teams and creating a production environment where people can do their best work.
And whatever the scale of the project, we still personally make sure the story works.
