Telly Award 2025
We’ve Gone Nuclear (In a Good Way): Crows Nest Films Wins Bronze Telly for EDF Campaign!
We’re thrilled to announce that Crows Nest Films UK has bagged a Bronze Telly Award in the General Recruitment category for our work on Cream’s EDF Nuclear Family campaign. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to make nuclear energy look cool, human, and downright huggable – it’s this team right here.
This campaign was all about rethinking what it means to be part of the nuclear industry — moving away from glowing clichés and into a world where real people make a real difference. With the brilliant folks at Cream, we helped EDF shine a light on the Nuclear Family (no, not that kind), showing potential recruits the warmth, diversity, and opportunity inside the reactor walls.
We’d like to offer a big, beaming round of applause to our very own Fleur Willcox-Jones, who led the charge with her usual creative flair, and Carney James Turner, whose direction kept the campaign as grounded as it was visually arresting. Hats off to Jeremy Gildersleve, our maestro of motion and post, who made atoms look like art, and Matt Hickinbottom, whose eye for production detail ensured everything ran like a well-oiled turbine.
Winning a Telly Award is no small feat — unless you have very tiny hands — and we’re genuinely honoured to be recognised among some of the industry’s best. Massive thanks to EDF and Cream for trusting us with your vision, and for letting us bring some heart and humanity to a topic that’s often more Homer Simpson than human story.
Here’s to more powerful storytelling, award-winning work, and glowing (but safe) results.
