Our story and approach

When Just Happened began with a simple idea: film is about being in the moment. The name was conceived around that belief – capturing moments that compel attention, playing with time, and crafting stories that hold viewers in the present, whilst also being mindful of the past and positive about the future.

Over time, this philosophy has taken us from intimate shoots to high-end collaborations with luxury and global brands such as Mulberry, Amazon, and Vispring. What began as a love of cinematic storytelling has grown into a production company trusted for creating films that are both beautifully crafted and commercially effective.

Founded by Ben Stevenson, an experienced commercial director and producer, When Just Happened is built on over 15 years of entrepreneurial and production expertise. Ben has led multimillion‑pound campaigns for global clients, working across sectors from technology to lifestyle, and his work has been recognised with industry awards for creativity and craft.

Known for a cinematic documentary style, we work with real people and real stories, as well as with luxury brands, property films and craft-driven clients. Whether filming with an individual craftsman or inside a large international operation, we bring a crafted, visual honesty to every frame, uncovering the why at the heart of every brand. Our style is authentic but composed, grounded in cinematic craft and honesty, while embracing innovation and forward-looking ideas. Strategic yet human. Always focused on delivering clarity and impact for every client.
