LPM · Documentary films
Lucid Stories
LPM’s short documentary film series, giving time and attention to people, their work and the subjects that matter to them. Each film stands on its own and is released before the OTP episode it makes possible.

Being built in the open
Lucid Point Media (LPM) is an independent creative organisation taking shape in West Yorkshire. We are developing films, long-form discussions and community experiences, with honesty and care at the centre of the work.

The premise
We don’t vow truth. We vow honesty.
We aim to get things right and to be clear about what we know. Honesty is the commitment we can keep in our conduct: explaining where information comes from, acknowledging uncertainty and correcting mistakes openly.
Our mission is to make the world better through creating things that can keep contributing. We bring stories and conversations into view with the context people need to form their own understanding.
That approach runs through everything LPM is developing, from a documentary film to a community gathering. The people whose stories we tell, and the communities we work with, belong in that process.

Built in the open

Provenance over convenience
We explain where information comes from and the limits of our knowledge.
The strands
Four strands. One Open Table.
Lucid Stories, Podcast, Talk and Show carry a shared ethos through different forms. The film comes first and provides the foundation for its linked OTP episode.
OTP · Podcast
Open Table Podcast
A weekly episode in two parts, built around a Lucid Stories film. Part One explores the film and its making; Part Two follows within the same calendar week, shaped by audience questions the guest chooses to answer.
OTT · Sessions
Open Table Talk
Monthly community sessions held by local Tables, named for their places and developed with the people who gather there. Everyone sits at the table, with space to listen and contribute.
OTS · Show
Open Table Show
A place for celebrity guests within The Open Table, spanning broadcast and live experiences. The same commitment to honest conversation guides the Show, with a quarterly rhythm being considered.
The formats are still evolving, and these descriptions will sharpen as the strands do.
Accountability
A lasting place for the community.
LPM is developing a Community Advisory Board (CAB) so the communities involved in the work can have a continuing voice in its accountability.
- Proposed role
- The Board would review LPM’s work against its stated commitments, with a defined process for LPM to respond to its findings.
- Proposed structure
- Local Tables are intended to hold a seat as the structure grows. The Charter and proposed changes to LPM’s governing documents are in development.
