Eyewitness Media Ltd is a new media company making television and film from a visual, diverse perspective.

We are already working on several new commissions, for broadcasters in the UK and Australia, and a national charity.

The company, based near Leeds, was set up by Charlie Swinbourne, a filmmaker, screenwriter and journalist who has specialised in making TV and films from a Deaf cultural perspective, in British Sign Language, for over 10 years.

Charlie’s past work as a writer/director includes the BSL comedy sketch show Deaf Funny, the Found documentaries, the Four Deaf Yorkshiremen comedies, and hit short film The Kiss.

As a screenwriter, he penned the dramas My Song and Departure Lounge, rude mockumentary Hands Solo, the mini-series The Fingerspellers and YouTube smash Coming Out. He also wrote the script for a short film for NSPCC explaining the charity’s Underwear Rule.

Charlie is also the editor of the world’s most popular Deaf blog, The Limping Chicken, which has clocked up over 5 million views since 2012.
