United By 2022
United By 2022 is the legacy charity of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games — dedicated to connecting, championing and celebrating the West Midlands.
Over multiple projects and years, Big Dog Productions has been trusted to tell their stories — from flagship brand films to intimate portraits of young people changing their
communities.
The Table: Gen22
The Table gave young people a chance and they took it.
Through the GEN22 programme, participants trained in front of house, barista and kitchen skills, volunteering a minimum of 30 hours before hosting their own community events.
The aim was simple: build confidence, develop communication, and create a connection to community. Many went on to further work and volunteering opportunities. Jess, one of those participants, now trains the next cohort of volunteers at The Table herself. A film about what happens when young people are simply given the chance.
Brand Film

Designed for web, social and public events.
Ideas Made Real
A case study film following the young people awarded funding through United By 2022's Ideas Made Real programme, capturing what happens when communities are trusted with the resources to make change for themselves. Real people, real projects, real impact.
