The studio

Three lines of work.

Documentary series

Our flagship work. Serialized history built on the record, released to an audience of 700,000+.

Commissioned films

Short films and series for brands, museums and publishers. Any subject that rewards research and reconstruction. Optional release to our audience of 700,000+.

Research and storytelling

Every film begins with the record. The facts are sourced. The story is written for the screen.
Editorial standards

How we treat the record.

Written for the viewer

Each release answers the questions a viewer would ask.

Sourced

Each release closes with its sources, so anyone can go further.

Told as a film

The record sets the facts. How the story is told, framed and staged is ours.

No hype

Plain, direct narration. The story carries the film.
Partnerships

Series and films made in partnership.

We develop, produce and deliver short-form documentary video with partners across industries. We take on a small number of projects and choose them carefully.
