HM Production · Hanoi · documentary and post-production for the development sector. November 2026 – February 2027.
The crew on this assignment
Used cooking oil leaves a kitchen and disappears. The programme's achievement is making that invisible flow visible and traceable — which is exactly the communications problem.
A systems achievement — collection units, a traceability app, certification. Systems don't film themselves.
TV · the January 2027 policy room · a social feed that decides in two seconds. Three edits, one shoot.
From wok to wing. One journey, a Hanoi kitchen to an aircraft wing.
Used cooking oil is liquid gold. The problem was never the oil — it was proving where it went.
After ReFeed's own framing. We would open the film with it.
That is where our director trained. Broadcast standards are not a risk on this project.
03 years at VTV1. A master that passes station QC first time.

| Risk | Mitigation |
|---|---|
| Drone permissions delayed | Applied for at inception; ground-based alternatives storyboarded, so no sequence depends on an aerial. |
| Key interviewee unavailable | Two alternates agreed per role at Task 1. No single voice is load-bearing. |
| Workshop date moves | Film B locked five working days early with a modular closing section. |
| Tết compresses February | All broadcast-critical milestones complete before end of January. |
| Informal collectors | A sensitive thread. Flagged at inception, line agreed with AOP and ReFeed before filming. |
