About Us
We are a company of producers with an appetite for bold, unusual, beautiful narratives. Our films are as unique and diverse as the directors behind them, with subjects ranging from personal stories, pop culture and music, to social issues, activism and the criminal justice system. We seek out high-profile subjects as well as surprising and untold stories.
Our films have screened at all the top international festivals including Sundance, Toronto, and Berlin, and have been released in theaters, on television, digital platforms and streaming services worldwide.
We’ve worked with top production companies and distributors on creative and critically acclaimed content including HBO, Sky Atlantic, Showtime, ZDF/Arte, IFC Films, Magnolia Pictures, Dogwoof, Cinereach, Story AB, SDI and Zeppers Film & TV.
