Built the way we would want to be reported on
Lucid Point Media is an independent creative organisation in development in West Yorkshire. Our mission is to make the world better through creating things that can keep contributing. Honesty guides how we make the work, how we treat people and how we explain our decisions.
Why LPM exists.
Our mission is to make the world better through creating things that can keep contributing. LPM gives that mission a practical form through storytelling, filmmaking, discussion and community experiences.
The Open Table connects the work through a shared ethos. We want to listen closely, bring context into view and give people room to speak for themselves. When a subject is contested or our knowledge is incomplete, we explain that clearly so audiences can form their own understanding.
A vow you can hold us to.
Our vow concerns what we can take responsibility for: our conduct, our openness and our word. These commitments explain how that should be reflected in the work.
-
01
We vow only what is ours to keep
We aim to get things right, make careful decisions and explain the limits of our knowledge. When work draws on material from others, we identify its source and what we have been able to establish.
-
02
Provenance travels with the work
Sources belong with the information they support. We explain where a claim comes from, distinguish what is known from what remains uncertain, and give audiences the context to assess it.
-
03
Corrections stay on the record
When we get something wrong, we put it right openly and explain what changed and why. A correction is part of being accountable for the work.
-
04
The people we cover can answer
People and communities involved in a story have a place in the process. Editing should preserve meaning and context; on OTP, the guest chooses which audience questions they answer.

Filly Santos founded Lucid Point Media and currently leads its development. The company’s direction centres on honest storytelling, care for the people involved and work that can keep contributing.
Building community accountability.
The Community Advisory Board (CAB) is a planned part of LPM’s accountability structure. It is intended to give the communities involved in the work a standing voice, with a remit and a clear process for LPM to respond to its findings.
-
Standing
A clearly defined remit
The intended remit is being developed through the CAB Charter and proposed changes to LPM’s governing documents. The completed documents will explain its role and the process for responding to its findings.
-
Reach
Reviewing the work against the vow
The proposed role is to examine LPM’s work against its stated commitments and make concerns clear, giving the company a defined responsibility to respond.
-
Growth
A place for each local Table
Each local Table is intended to hold a seat as the structure develops, connecting community participation in the work with a continuing voice in its accountability.
-
Record
A Charter people can read
The Charter is in development. It will be published when confirmed so that the Board’s remit, membership and working arrangements can be understood.
These are development plans. The final Charter and any adopted changes to the company’s governing documents will be shared when confirmed.
