Our Story
A family business since 1960, shaped by decades of change in film and video.
Founder, Lionel Fynn in 1982
How it all started
Original services promotional film produced for Action FIlms in the 1960’s
Plato Video is a Dorset-based production company with roots going back to 1960, when Harry’s father, Lionel Fynn, founded the business in Bournemouth under the name Action Films, originally specialising in filming weddings, sports and other live occasions.
As the business evolved, it became Plato Tapes, supplying educational cassette tapes on legal and commercial subjects, before later becoming Plato Video as video production became more widely accessible.
Today, that history underpins a modern approach built on quality, experience and straightforward production.
Specialist brands
Alongside Plato Video’s corporate and event work, Harry also runs two specialist film brands: Harry’s Wedding Films, focused on wedding cinematography, and Retold, creating family documentary films with a more personal, story-led approach.
These remain separate specialist brands, allowing Plato Video to keep its corporate and events focus clear while still supporting clients looking for those more personal services.
Director, Harry Fynn
