We don’t list everything we’re working on.

The full slate

A studio built for the way films get made now.

We develop, produce and finance character-driven features. Because all three happen in one place, a project isn't handed between companies on its way to the screen.

From scrappy indies to large-scale features, with major studios and first-time filmmakers. We know what a good story needs, what a bad day costs, and how to get from script to screen with the right people still smiling.

We design finance structures that protect the work and reward investment: tax credits and rebate structuring, pre-sales, retained rights and direct international distribution. No magical thinking.

Twelve countries so far, with crews and co-production partners across Europe and North America.

Three disciplines, one instrument.

We move between them fluently because each one informs the others.

i.

Development

  • Script development
  • Talent attachment
  • Packaging & financing
  • Co-production partnerships

Good stories don't just happen, they're built, tested, and refined. We work with writers and directors to shape ideas into films with real identity and reach. From early concept to final polish, we make sure the story, the team, and the plan are all pointing in the same direction.

ii.

Production

  • Line producing
  • Production management
  • Post-production supervision
  • International co-productions

We've run sets on every scale and know that success lives in the details. Calm, focused production lets creativity thrive and experience keeps it on track. We bring discipline, communication, and a touch of humour, so the work stays sharp and the people stay sane.

iii.

Financing & Distribution

  • Tax credits & rebate structuring
  • Pre-sales & distribution strategy
  • Film finance & investment
  • Investor relations & reporting

The best deals are the honest ones. We design finance structures that protect creativity and reward investment, using smart incentives, trusted partners, and straight talk. From funding to release, we manage the business so filmmakers can focus on the film.
