The studio

Three lines of work.

Documentary series

Our flagship work. Serialized history built on the record, released to an audience of 600,000+.

Commissioned films

Concept films and series for companies we choose to work with. Any subject that rewards research and reconstruction.

Broadcast delivery

Finished masters delivered to spec, including ProRes for broadcast and film industry work.
Editorial standards

How we treat the record.

Sourced, with a point of view

Every historical claim traces to a named primary or secondary source. How the story is told, framed and staged is ours.

Honest visuals

Our films combine original reconstructions with real public domain photographs, restored, colorized and set in motion. Each is identified for what it is.

Discrepancies noted

Each release includes a discrepancies section flagging known reconstructions and anachronisms.

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. Broadcast-spec delivery available, including ProRes masters.
