We are Solace,

A production company hailing from North West London,

And we currently need your help to bring our next film to life.

This is our third short film, but it’s our first narrative piece, which makes it feel like a real milestone. Sterile is deeply personal to us. Growing up in London, we rarely saw the place we call home shown in a way that felt honest. Too often it’s either over-glorified, over-glamorised and bastardised. That version of London never matched our own experiences.

What we want to show is something different. This film is about tenderness, vulnerability and care. It’s about the mandem, our brothers, our sisters, our friends, our community and portraying them with love and grace. For a lot of us, vulnerability wasn’t something we were taught to embrace. We wore masks without realising how much they suffocated us. Sterile is about unlearning that and creating the language for softness we all deserved but rarely saw.

Making films is expensive, and that’s why we’re asking for your help. Your support will go directly towards paying our cast and crew, securing locations, covering travel and food, and making sure the film looks and sounds its best through post-production, Alongside our first festival run, we would like this film to have an impact beyond the place we call home and really impact culture in ways it hasn't before.

Sterile is more than just another short. It’s a chance to tell a story that represents London with honesty and heart. Any amount of support brings us closer to making that vision real, and we’d love for you to be part of this journey with us.
