Hi, I’m Heydon Prowse, and welcome to my production company Flying Shoe Films. I have over 10 years’ experience making adverts, comedy shows and documentaries, for which I have won a BAFTA (twice nominated), two Broadcast Awards (four times nominated) and a Cannes Lion Gold, among other awards including a Lovie and a Rose d’Or.

As Creative Director at Don’t Panic in 2007, I worked with Founding Partner Joe Wade to create the video advertising side of the creative agency. My advertising work has won a Lovie Award, a Webby and a W3 Gold. Clients include Greenpeace, PETA, Heineken, Netflix, English National Opera, Virtue, Oxfam, Amnesty International, Yahoo, Sony, Global Witness, Human Rights Watch, War Child and more.

My podcast productions include Sex Lies & DM Slides for Spotify and the BBC Sounds series Green Inc, Wokewash and En-Gulfed.

My TV work includes BBC3’s The Revolution Will Be Televised, which I wrote and starred in and which won a BAFTA, a Rose d’Or and a Broadcast Award over three seasons. Other comedy shows include Democracy Dealers on BBC3, Revolting on BBC2 and The Ministry of Justice on Channel 4.

I hosted and co-directed the BBC2 documentary The Town That Took on The Taxman, which gained international press coverage and was remade for Dutch television. I was also the reporter/host on the The Most Dangerous Town on the Internet documentary, which won two Cannes Lion Golds.

Recently we have been making a number of documentaries for Channel 4, including the Broadcast Digital Award nominated It’s Alright To Be White starring Alhan Gençay and the Great Climate Scandal hosted by Matt Shea. Our film When Harry Met… The Far Right Rally starring Harry Pinero recently won a Broadcast Digital Award for Best Short Form Documentary. Our documentary The Dark Side of Modelling presented by Sydney Lima was also Broadcast Award nominated.

Recent advertising and cause-led films include work for Amnesty International, Choose Love, Action Against Hunger and Lurpak. In 2025 we released a series of satirical, investigative campaign films on the situation with settlements in the West Bank that accumulated tens of millions of views. In 2023 we went to the Brazilian Amazon to make a campaign film for Greenpeace and a number of other environmental NGOs on the deforestation caused by high-street supermarket brands. We plan to go back again in 2027!
