As 2025 came to a close, we reflected on another year of growth, creativity, and milestones. From blockbuster productions to regional expansion and sustainable innovation, it’s been a year that showcases the very best of Real SFX. Check out our 2025 showcase below….
Screen Highlights
2025 saw our SFX touch some extraordinary projects:
Havoc, Hostage, and Talamasca: The Secret Order – all landed in Netflix’s Global Top 10
Feature releases including The Crow Girl, Dope Girls, Last Breath, Death Valley, Man in My Basement, Hedda, Christmas Karma, The War Between the Land and the Sea
The latest season of Doctor Who
Behind the scenes, we’re also super excited about just some of the 2026 titles that will be dropping soon, including Guy Ritchie’s Young Sherlock and the incredible Under Salt Marsh, along with other projects still under wraps.
Region Expansion Across the UK
Whilst Cardiff remains our home and HQ, 2025 saw us expand even further, and we now have fully operational hubs in Bristol, London, and Birmingham, supporting productions across every major UK filming region. With nearly 20 years of experience, our teams provide local crews, equipment, and expertise wherever productions need us.
“Wherever the action is, we’re there and ready to make it happen.”

2025 was more than just appeared on screen for us, and we continued to invest in crew development and sustainability – which are all central to us:
KIT4CREW expanded across all major UK studios, redistributing workwear and supporting crew welfare
We are very proud to be the only SFX company listed on the BAFTA albert accredited suppliers directory, highlighting our commitment to safe, responsible, and sustainable production
Welcoming our next intake of apprentices through SGIL Cymru, keeping the next generation of SFX talent thriving
“Responsible, safe, and sustainable production isn’t a trend – it’s ingrained in who we are.”
