A HEREFORD film company has just had a good month, winning a top award and working at an iconic house in the county.
Shooting Reels is a family-run content production company based in Rotherwas, and it has just been named the family business of the year in the two counties.
The firm, based in Rotherwas, creates videos, photography and animations for businesses to help promote them online.
Shooting Reels was created by Edward Deacon back in 2013. Working from his bedroom in his family home, Ed started creating videos for businesses across Herefordshire. His dad Stuart Deacon and brother Dom Deacon joined soon after.

It is a striking Swedish-style red and white chalet, set on the hill overlooking the river Wye at Symonds Yat, near Ross-on-Wye.
The firm had been filming at the home, which is a B&B when it's not being used to film the popular Netflix series.
Gillian Anderson and Asa Butterfield are two of the main characters in the series, which has also featured Ncuti Gatwa who has since been named as the BBC's new Doctor Who.
The shoot was for a new app ‘Your Epic Home’ on behalf of Epic Global Group Limited, also a Hereford-based firm.
