Page75: Films to inspire change
Founded by the team behind award winning documentary film: I Am Gen Z, Page75 is an independent production company investigating our divided world. We seek to expose and understand the stories behind the headlines to help audiences better understand our world and inspire change.
We are united by our curiosity and shared frustrations at the lack of action to address critical issues. Years of collaborating has seen us become creatively intune and refined in our working practices. Together we bring a unique blend of business acumen, creative film production, directing, editing and music composition. A CV of awards recognises the talent and versatility of our story tellers.
Our recent documentary, I am Gen Z, has had a successful Festival run and is in distribution worldwide including TV broadcast, digital media platforms and streaming on Amazon Prime UK and US.

Liz Smith
Documentary Director & Editor
Liz is a British documentary filmmaker. Her
work is centred around human rights issues.
She is the director and editor of the feature
documentary “I Am Gen Z”, which explores the
impact of digital technology on the lives and
behaviours of the first generation to grow up
with smartphones in their pockets. The film
premiered at CPH:DOX in 2021 and won the
award for Best Feature at The Lower East Side
Film Festival in 2022.
The body of work planned under the aegis of
Page75 Productions is the outcome of years of study on the issues driving today’s democratic backsliding. However, researching the issues can only go so far. Her approach of spending time with
affected communities on the frontline delivers
a much deeper understanding of the forces
driving these trends.
