• What happens when a corporate interview turns into a debate about how to talk about offshore wind? In this two-part mockumentary, Ørsted UK’s Country Manager, Benj Sykes, pushes back against the usual corporate script – insisting that renewable energy is about people, jobs, and real impact, not just gigawatts. Shot with a wink and a dose of self-awareness, the films blur the line between authenticity and messaging, capturing the humanity behind corporate storytelling. A lighthearted take on how serious subjects can (and should) be told with humour.
