About Us
Welcome to HeteroDocs
An emerging and boundary-breaking collective that prides itself on connecting with people through film
HeteroDocs was launched in 2017 to make films and social content that could inspire and challenge perspectives.
Founded by independent Filmmaker Siobhan McDonnell who strives to make respectful and ethically produced films.
Commercial Projects
Our commercial and client-led projects include Warner Bros. LGBTQ+, Swiss charity BAAS, Action for Education Chios & more.
We've supported charities and clients both in the UK and abroad.
Documentary Film
Documentary films grounded in an omnipresent struggle for human equality. Creative story telling that delves across topics of gender, human rights, sexuality and politics.

Our Goals
To allow children to explore their imagination, create their own realities for a short time and express themselves through film.
Launch Plea
We started with a small idea and thank-you to all our funders and supporters who made it possible.
Pop-up Cinema
There is no greater sound than the uninhibited laughter of children.
'Shrek' with Arabic & Farsi subtitles.
This is a precious sound in Vial refugee camp.
Making own films
Teaching the basic technical skills in camera and sound to help construct the story.
Budding actors, directors & writers
The groups work together to make their film, bringing out a range of skills and talents that might otherwise not be used.
Future Projects
The film workshops still run intermittently when volunteers on the ground are able to assist. Though funds and support is limited so all help gratefully received.
