About Nidd Films
Nidd Films was founded by filmmaker Mark Anthony, whose work explores the deep connection between people, place, and memory. Based in North Yorkshire, the company takes its name from the River Nidd, meaning “brilliant” or “shining," the lifeblood of the valley, and a reminder that every story begins with the land itself.
At Nidd Films, we believe stories grow from listening — to nature, to history, and to the quiet voices that have long been forgotten.
Guided by respect for animals, the environment, and the truth that all living things are connected, our films seek to honour both the seen and unseen worlds.
Each project — from Sweetheart: Angel of the Moor to our developing historical and folklore dramas — begins with one belief: that the earth remembers, and through film, we can help it speak.
At Nidd Films, every story begins with place. We draw on history, folklore, and human experience to tell stories that reclaim forgotten voices and reveal new ways of seeing the past.
Each project is built on deep research and authentic detail — finding truth in the landscape and giving voice to those who history has too often silenced.

“Restoring the silenced life of Mary-Jane Skaife, Sweetheart: Angel of the Moor is a film about justice, memory, and women’s voices.”
"Who has seen the wind? Neither I nor you: But when the leaves hang trembling,
The wind is passing through."
"Who has seen the wind?
Neither you nor I:
But when the trees bow down their heads,
The wind is passing by."
Poem by Christina Rossetti.
“True stories from the edges of history.”
