Siddiqui Speaks: Shorts Showcase

Siddiqui Media presents Siddiqui Speaks at Watershed – a celebration of the Bristol-based video production company’s 4th business birthday, showcasing films around the world focussing on nature and social impact. 

Farhath Siddiqui and Rob Moth started off doing social impact work, creating videos for BLM Weston-super-Mare and sharing stories from the local community. This then progressed into further video work and expanded to what it is today – a fun, open & bright production company with a diverse portfolio ranging from sustainability, music, corporate & commercial videos.

They are marking their 4th birthday as a business and are holding this event as a celebration and open invitation to network.
