OUR VISION

To give the supportive and powerful platform of authentic documentary film and photography collections, to people on the margins of our society, allowing them to be liberated in a non judgemental way.

OUR MISSION

To create meaningful visual projects that start conversations, connect and support communities and have a positive impact on society and our planet. We strive to support the sense of belonging and equality and positively impact the creation of a diverse, respectful and healthy society.

See The Light Productions was set up by Beta Bajgart, a Dublin-based filmmaker and photographer. She has been directing and producing documentaries empowering women, young people and local communities. She is also the author of an award winning project ‘A Woman’s Work’, that follows the narratives of women who have chosen a career path in unusual and predominantly male professions.

Beta has a photography and journalism background and she’s experienced director, producer and editor. Beta is passionate about narrating interesting and powerful stories through the lens of social justice and environmental concerns. She has the ability to turn them into interesting projects and spin offs. Beta’s non-national viewpoint often helps her to break down barriers that might otherwise exist, and her ‘outside’ perspective is often valuable in projects, unconstrained by taboos or traditions that may exist locally.

  • The photos feel authentic to my brand

    “I am trilled with the shoot. I got way more than I expected. I was blown away with the variety of shots Beta was able to get for me. I know I can use them in multiple ways for my business so that I have fresh content over the next year. Beta asked the right questions and understood what I needed from this shoot. I felt for the first time a photographer captured the “real me” as a business owner.”

  • I would recommend Beta to anyone with similar needs.

    We asked Beta to make a short film about the Czech school. She upgraded it to a four-week journalist workshop. The children really enjoyed this extracurricular activity. As a result, the school received a valuable documentary which was a pleasure to watch and a great success with the general public. Beta is professional, hard working, and reliable. She has been very popular with the kids. I would definitely ask her to work with us in the future, and recommend her to anyone with similar needs.

  • I will be inviting Beta to work with our students again

    Beta worked with our 2nd year students on the JCSP funded ‘Make a Film Project’. From start to finish to students thoroughly enjoyed the project. The workshop fulfilled many of the learning outcomes of the Junior Cycle syllabus, but it is suitable for both junior and senior groups. The students learned to creatively brainstorm a narrative, storyboard the scenes, wrote scripts and work together as a team. They loved using the film equipment and Beta ensured that the pre-production and filming was student led. Beta is a natural with the students, professional, patient and fun! I will 100% be inviting Beta back to work with our students.
